If the needle moves .as in its reading something (not moving from just vibrations) The gauge is fine...These gauges burn very easily if its smoked buying a new or used is about yoru only option.

If the needle is OK, it could be a simple fix.
Often the wire from the coil is burned.
You can fix this by dismantling the gauge and replacing the copper insulated wire which is forming the coil.
You have to look for the same wire thickness in for example an old junk transformer, and wind it in the same maner as the old wire, then strip the ends with a lighter or something and solder it back in place.
