Sorry, can't help you with your problem but I wanted to ask you
something. I am considering getting one (used) CO meter of eBay. Is
it maintenance free, or do I need filters to change? Does it need
calibration, and how do you do that? Anything else?

I have a gunsons one (came from ebay). It is maintenance free.

You calibrate it by leaving it outside for as long as possible (min
15mins to get a good calibration in my experience), then adjusting it
so that it reads 2%.

Im not sure id buy one again. I have a wideband 02 sensor and
controller in my car now and i think putting the money towards a
wideband sensor and controller would be more use (it will probably
cost you �150-�200 and you can get an adaptor to hold the sensor
itself in the tailpipe.

You can buy Bosch wideband sensor for £70 here:

What does controller do? I just finished my air - fuel meter that I
found it here:

http://www.pelicanparts.com/techarticles/mult_air_fuel_monitor/mult_air_fuel_monitor.htm

It's a simple 0-1V voltmeter. I guess that one you have does a lot more.

Can you explain how do you use it, it's benefits...

The gunsons elcheapo ones are not worth it IMHO, I had one and gave up on
it.

Mine's a very old one called "Sun" which is rather a work of art. It seems
to work, though, which is a good thing as I've no idea how to fix it.

I was thinking of old Sun or Bosch unit. You say nothing about filters,
calibration maintenance. What did you do for two hours getting it to
work?
