oil pressure gauge

horacecopeMember

I have the standard Veglia oil pressure gauge but for added safety I have fitted a capilliary type gauge also.

When the engine is running capilliary gauge reads 50psi and the veglia 70psi but the needle fluctuates quite a lot. When the engine is warm it drops to around 25/30psi at idle on the capilliary but stays around 50/70 on the veglia.

It has a brand new sender so I'm thinking the gauge is faulty. Are there any resistors etc on the back of this gauge that may have failed or anyone any clues as to why the readings would be so erratic.

Original gauge so would like to keep hold of it.

cheers
