I've heard of the needle moving to the other side, but what if this happens?

Looks like I need a little threadlock on the screws............I was going to pull the cluster anyway to take the speedometer to get repaired and/or recalibrated. It has started the "cat in a fight/in pain/in heat noise"

One question I have though........
When I put the needle back on, is it best to have an empty tank, and put the needle at the empty mark? or have a full tank, and put the needle at or slightly above the full mark?

With the gauge out and no power to it. It should be showing empty anyway.. so put it on in the empty position..

IMO anyway..

+1 on empty.  test and then bend the float to match.
