:Cry:I took the bird out today and put some mix gas in her. I have not ran her up since May I believe. I also wanted to check the gauges out to make sure they worked. After I warmed the motor up for 2 min. I took her for a stole around the yard. Steering is still great. Brakes work great. Didn't have the blade on to check the prerotator out. maybe this weekend.

I came back and put the parking brake on that I made. I was looking at the gauges and noticed that the CHT might have climbed to 100 degrees But the
EGT had not moved of either one. I kept the AGL EGT's because I had already installed the so I could not send them back. I checked the wiring and it is correct also. unless one of three things.
1. Bad sensor
2. Bad gauges
3. Bad wiring
I guess I have some more work to do now.......:suspicious:

QUESTION: Is there any way to check the Sensors? and or the gauges?

Well I ran the bird up again today and found out the the connections were not that good, it seem to be tight but when I wiggled it the EGT came up. CHT are dead. both of them

EGT came up to 250 I would have thought it would been a little higher.

I guess it is time to get the ohm meter out to check the sending units..............................:mad:

DONE WITH THIS TOO! THANKS
