On my 32 the temp gauge is not working. I think the tube is loose up next where the tube enters the back of the gauge. I know that the Filling Station has replacements. My question is what does it take to rebuild a temp gauge or fix the tube, is it worth it to fix and recharge or just buy the replacement?

Thanks

The gauge can be repaired or a replacement purchased. Since the gauge bulb is filled with di-ethyl ether it is best to have the pros repair it. The Temperature Gauge Guy

I have done both......the repair and the replacement. The replacement from the Filling Station is cheaper.
