All the Lamco's I've seen over-read a bit too (mine included ) - you should maybe find out how accurate yours is.

Mine under reads. When the engine is switched off the needle doesn't stay right on zero. It stays a tad under. When it was brand new it used to sit smack bang on zero. Others have this probem too.

Cheers,

Wrexy.
