IMHO, the problem is at least as likely to be a failed "stepper motor" in the gauge cluster.
The sender works just like they have since the dawn of the electric gas gauge... the resistance between it's terminal and chassis ground varies as the float rises and falls.

If it works like that, it's pretty likely the sender has failed.
If the gauge does NOT swing, there's a stepper motor, electronics, or wiring issue.

On our first cosmetic restoration, not having a manual, we carefully marked the wires, taped the magneto in the position it came off, and were careful not to turn the engine over while we had these components off. We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
