Tracy,
Thanks for the suggestions.
I ran it to 190, installed the needle, turned off the motor; it coasted up a
few degrees then I observed it down to below 160 before I buttoned up the
t-stat. The gauge stayed in coincidence with the cooking thermometer. Harbor
freight laser thermometer confirms same temp from outside. So it's a lot closer
than before.
I was going to have it overhauled but couldn't get the bulb nut out. Think I
rounded it a little. Decided to do it the above way. Still a lot better than
being 30 degrees off.
