Message	modifying the resistance in the thermistor in the gauge. Thermistor: less heat, more resistance. more heat, less resistance. Therefore, I am thinking that there must be some fixed amount of resistor between semi-warm and normal operating temp in the thermistor. Once water temp goes, say 220F, "more heat, less resistance", more voltage flows thru thermistor to move up the needle. So, by removing that "fixed amount of resistor", the needle should move freely and linearly.... Any inputs? Erick ________
