Answer
Have you measured the temp. with a thermometer. i use an infrared thermometer and point it at the where the thermostat is. i have two lehman 120s and the one reads 220 deg. at the gauge but is actually jogging at 180. i need to correct this by changing out the sender but at least i know the temp is okay.if you temp. is high your next step may be the thermostat.
