Hi Guys
Having moved my 4 to the airfield I have started to follow Mahlons advice about ground runs prior to the first flight. However, I am not getting any temperature indication from the Vans EGT/CHT set up. I ran the engine about 2 years ago with just one cylinder hooked up and seem to remember I did not get any reading until the RPM got quite high.
I converted it to a 4 channel system now do not see any temp increase at low RPMs. I have checked the wiring it looks fine....maybe I am not revving high enough to raise the temps high enough to get onto the scale.
So, with Vans guages what EGT/CHT do you expect to see at tick over...... what sort of RPM would you expect to see the temps come up.
