Well, gas goes through the carburettor, right? And 90% of all
carburettor problems are electrical. So your problem is electrical.
Really. Maybe a short or a break in the line to the fuel sender,
though it hard to imagine it being consistent like that. Maybe poor
connections? Could be a busted sender, most likely.
If you pull the wire off the sender does it make any difference in
the gauge reading?
