I've lost two cylinders?

On my new-to-me RV-12, the Dynon Skyview shows all the engine information, including EGT and CHT. I'm confused why the Dynon only shows two CHT, left and right, and two EGT, left and right. See photo. On my Mooney there is a gauge for each cylinder, for a total of four EGT and four CHT.

The older Rotax engines only supported 2 CHT probes. You should be able to install four EGT probes, though. If you have all the probes, check the Dynon configuration for proper cylinder count and inputs.
 
Can you pull your top cowl and look to see if the other 2 exhaust bayonets are installed and look to the cylinders for the CHT probes installed? That would be the first place I'd look.

Your mooney is most likely running a traditional aircraft engine. Rotax 912 engines are quite different to those. Welcome to the Rotax and RV-12 club.
