[Tigers] Fuel Gauge Behavior

[Terry Packer]

When I turn on the ignition, the fuel gauge rises to indicate the proper amount of fuel in the tank. But it reaches that point over several seconds in lurches as if the indicator hangs up temporarily. I'm curious whether that is normal (or at least common) or whether it indicates a fault? Since this happens even with a full tank of fuel (the tank sender already at the limit of its travel) it would seem the cause is in the gauge.  As the tank empties during driving the gauge always performs normally without any apparent hitches. 

Besides the possibility of mechanical binding, I was wondering whether our Jaeger analog instruments ever benefit from lubrication or is it intended that the movements remain dry for their lifetimes?
ThanksTerry Packer
