Re: [DML] Backwards temp gauge

[Warren Wallingford <warren@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The worst case means a new gauge with attendant binnicle removal. 
There's worse problems.  BUT, see if you can take the spacer and knob 
off of the trip reset and wiggle an unbent paper clip or something in 
thru' that hole in the lens and pop the needle back over the stop. 
Careful not to break the trip reset shaft.  That would escalate the 
problem from funny to annoying.
