This part is correct.

S furnace cycles. most run around 4 or 6 on
S the settings.

This part is not correct. the setting should match the actual amp draw. not
"around" a setting.

S for some strange reason, the pointer seems to get moved occasionally.

They do not "move" themselves. someone has to do it physically.

S ive adjusted quite a few of them and that turned out to be the only
S problem. as for burning it out just by changing the setting,
S its not very likely.

it will burn out if you go too low on the setting.

S usually the only thing that will burn it out
S is a low voltage short from the furnace controls or a high voltage
S related surge thro the thermostat wire.

see above.

S at any rate, the best thing to do is to call a reputable serv comp
S and let a tech take a look at it.

Another true statement.
