It appears that the float gets hung up along the shaft hence the erratic gage. Depending on your patience level, you could disassemble the unit again and clean the shaft thoroughly.
Sometime back, I found one of the copper wires broken on my SU. I took a hair of copper wire from a strand and soldered it to join the broken wire. It works fine now. B4, it never registered correctly.
