Colin,

Thanks for your response. You are correct that the float was stuck. After spraying some electronics cleaner into the tube and washing it out the float came loose. I did in fact put a meter to it and found that the sender was giving varying amounts of resistance. I resoldered the wires I had cut to get that portion of the assembly off and connected the power (and ground) to find the gauge registering.
