I have one, but 'tis in Sonja. I don't recall ever seing one in a
catalog, but someone must sell them. Mine is flaking a bit, so it'll
probably get replaced when the new speedo goes in. I've been told that
a simple regulator will _not_ work, that the "pulsing" is necessary to
the proper functioning of, among other things, the fool gauge. Don't
really know, myself. Haven't thought about it much, either.

As I recall, it's ether.
