break in continuity when test gas sending unit

Thanks for responding. Is that sweeping contact supposed to have that little hole at the tip, or did it wear through after 200,000 miles? I sanded and bent contact so it would contact the
windings more firmly...some winding loops did snag the sweeping contact , so I slid a finely-whittled bit of toothpick under the winding s from the backside of the winding s' support plate to tighten up the windings. I also twisted the sweep so it's tip doesn't snag windings.
