Our Garwin/Mooney cluster gauge containing our manifold and fuel pressure is sticky on the manifold pressure side. We need to give it a few taps to make the needle move properly. Can this stickyness be fixed or does it indicate a bigger issue? Thanks.

Is the gauge slow to react or does it just stick in one position until you tap it? If it is just slow there is an orifice in the fitting on the back of the gauge that can get dirty. Either way any instrument shop can fix it.


Just be very careful removing the fittings from the back of the instrument, it is easy to damage the instrument if you are not careful.
