Default stewart warner ammeter

Got a new old stock S-W ammeter. The circuit works but the needle never moves either way. Can I just smack it? Does it need to be jolted or what? Thanks.

Don't know about NOS but I bought a new SW 60amp from speedway and it was DOA right out of the box. Unfortunately Stewart Warner quality control has gone way down in recent years
