I just recieved an Autometer boost gauge via Ebay and the needle seems to rest at 3-5psi vaccum instead of at 0. I really hope I dont have any internal issues. Any body have any suggestions as to how to fix it?

I have one that was a little high and it did seem to throw the real readings off a bit. I'm not sure if they can be taken apart and fixed or not but if so, I'd say take it apart and try getting it to sit on zero. I've personally never been a fan of Autometer just because of stuff like that. I'm more of a Defi guy... but just don't have the money for them.

Well... No offense but u pretty much bought what u paid for. I mean they are Ebay gauges. They should work but don't expect to get perfect or great accuracy like gauges like Defi Guages(some of the best gauges) for those prices.
