Just did first flight, and was awesome! (I?ll save the details for a separate post).
Anyway, I have a feeling my cht?s are not reading correctly (all low 200?s entire flight). IO-360 M1B, Garmin G3X, Alcor (type K) probes.
Thought it might be configuration issue, and it was initially (i had selected type J). Went back to configuration mode and changed it to type K.
Second flight they were slightly higher, but still abnormally low:
Oat 50 deg
MAP 25
RPM 2500
Full rich
Alt 3000?
CHT?s never got above 300.
1- 233
2- 231
3- 280
4- 251
Thought maybe wires were backwards, so i swapped them. Read normal until engine start, then got a red X. So put them back like they were.
After sitting overnight, turned on the master and they indicated ambient air temp (as I would suspect). But did another quick flight and still all below 300.
Tomorrow I plan to put the probe in boiling water to verify the readings. Assuming they are good, I am out of ideas. Anyone seen this before?
