Susan, just echoing Art & Klaus: you don't need a gauge. You cut a < 2" strip of wire to bypass the compensator - which dampens the movement of the needle.

"It's so simple a caveman could do it" (one of the few Geico commercials I've liked.)

You probably need to find a mechanic who knows 240s - or is willing to follow suggestions from this board (which may not always be correct but is pretty good).

Klaus: re your comment on registering - the board's been messed up for weeks now, not showing who replies are from on some threads. It often doesn't even show a name after the "someone claiming to be".

Perhaps the boards reached capacity and can't add info to new threads?
