Hi all,
For the first 85 hours of operation of my IO360 I had a single EGT instrument
( Vans) with multiple senders and a 4 position selector to monitor the engine.
I had gotten used to the EGT readings, depending on leaning, in the 1100 - 1400?F range. I recently installed a CHT system with spark plug gasket senders,new dual selector switch and a dual CHT/EGT instrument, all from Westach.
I am suprised to find that the EGT readings are approx 100-150?F less for the same leaning/fuel flow adjustment.The CHT readings seem normal at approx.325?F.
Is the difference in EGT readings possibly due to internal differences between the Vans and Westach instruments.?
Note that I am using the same original EGT probes and I know that the Westach instrument is not compensated for different hot/cold junction temps. in the thermocouple.
Any ideas or help would be appreciated
