take it back and get a new one..or if its been too long call autometer and thell probably have you ship it back and they ship you a new one

Ah yes... good old Autometer gauges

I saw a post somewhere on recalibrating it.

Basically you take it apart and there is a little platic piece in there that is adjustable.
Make sure you do not bend the coper tube when making adjustments.

I have had a ton of Autometer gauges and they have all worked great. The only one that I had a problem with was a boost gauge that was off just like this one. I sent it back and had a new one with in a few days no questions asked. They are good gauges, but some people just have to spend a ton to feel they got a good product.

I would just send it back and get a new one incase you break or over compensate when trying to fix it.

I hear the mechanical gauges are good.

I have had no luck with the electric gauges.
My air fuel (yeah the blinky one) is all messed up showing multiple lights at the same time. My oil pressure gauge died. My brothers oil pressure gauge died.

My mechanical boost gauge is fine however.
