cht/egt

[jmkjr72]

i have mounted an aircraft cht on my stella to keep track of her temp now that i have a pipe and bigger carb

i am looking at adding an egt for real time info for carb tuning
i would like an aircraft one as they are great units and vibration resistant in most cases

so is any one running an egt or using one for carb tuning
if so let me know what you are running and where you got it from

i got my cht on ebay from flyparts guy he is great to deal with and when the first one he sent me only lasted 15 minutes he sent me another no questions asked the guages he is selling are surplus guages from the 90s

well i have managed to find some one who has a set up on a stella well he has the parts he hasnt installed as he is not sure if he wants to drill a hole in a 400 buck pipe
guage

well except i will get a round one
probe


the advantage of this set up is it takes no power at all unless you want to run backlights
i know guys who run simular set ups on other bikes but just dont think the digtial deal would look right on my stella

[Rebel]

so are you going to just put the probe in the end of the tail pipe?

[jmkjr72]

nope you have to drill a small hole about 4 inches from the piston and place it there
just like a fire you want to measure the temp where its going to be the hotest

[Rebel]

I wondered, but re-read your post and it is the guy you found that does not want to drill a hole, not you.

hey spent 400 bucks on his pipe
yes my pipe would have cost almost 300 new but i got mine used for 75
plus if i dont like it i can always weld the hole back up
im not afraid to cut holes in things after all i have welder and i can weld not great but i can weld
