Looking into a few problems with my new to me '89 StarCraft SD 240. The fuel gauge wasn't working, so I started with checking the voltages at gauge, and all checked ok. Took sender wire off center of sender and touched to ground and gauge pegged out to full. I figure bad sender, so I undo the screws holding it in and pull it up to where the (cork?) ball on end is. My problem is the cork will not fit through the opening in the top of tank without wiggling and working it. The cork is evidently not floating because while messing with the sender the fuel gauge will go up and down. Any suggestions of how to get the cork (float) through the hole so I can replace it, without filling my tank with a bunch of cork that falls off of it. I hung it up where the cork wasn't in the fuel that is in the tank now, hoping it would dry out some overnight and shrink. Tank is about 3/4 full right now and I'd hate to have to drain and clean it if I can help it. Any help is greatly appreciated.
