mines the same, but its working now, i think it was the cold weather.

When it dies, push down firmly on the dial centre (black cap on the needle) and hold the pressure, does it start working as soon as you do that?

[bigjim]

dont know, will have to try it. but its been doing this for a year good or bad weather.
