The original Schweizer airspeed indicator in my glider sticks.

The pitot line runs to the bottom port on the back of the instrument
but not direclty. It has a tee that routes it off to another
instrument also. I would have thought that the pitot should have an
uniterupted tube going directly to the airspeed indicator.


Any advice would be appreciated.

I agree with the other posters---send it in for cleaning, and calibration.

The tee is probably to a netto cappilliary, or possibly to a hidden
diaphragm TE compensator.

A 10 cc medical syringe is a good "air pump" for testing systems.
