The needle keeps sticking, but if you tap the glass it will drop back ! The gauge works fine apart from this !
Tried grounding it a few times to swing the needle to try and loosen it up which worked to a certain degree but is there anything I can do to fix it  |

Only way is to open it up
3 things it can be
1-the needle is rubbing, bend it to clear
2-it needs oiled, carefully oil it
3-the damping mechanism is knackered, new temp gauge please 🙁

I had the tacho apart to fit a new face and never thought the temperature gauge would need looking at
