Hi Everybody,
Thanks for all the responses.
I have received several emails regarding my voltmeter reading wrong.  All but 
one suggested the same possible solution.  That being I may have hooked the 
voltmeter up through the voltage regulator.  
Well, I am glad to say that we all think along the same lines, as that was also 
my first thought.  
I guess I should have said that when I checked the reading I hooked my VOM up 
in the same place as the voltmeter was hooked up.  The VOM reads about 2 volts 
higher than the voltmeter.   IIRC the regulator averages  about 10v but varies 
some.   But I think my VOM would still show about 10v.  
The other response suggested there is a resistor that may be adjustable.  So I 
guess I may tear apart the gauge to see what I can see.
Thanks,
Roger Elliott
