I limped the last .5 mile of a 30 mile delivery (wow was that lucky!!) and when I went back to troubleshoot it was fine. I figure after all the cleaning I did last winter a piece of scale wedged somewhere unfortunate (manifold exit?) and settled again when it was shut down for a while. I'll continue to watch the gauge - and for steamy exhaust.
