Maybe time to try another one? Roger, I will give you a call or maybe stop by there?

The only change to the engine was replacing an O-ring on the coolant inlet of the number 4 head. On startup last Sunday, the engine started and ran fine however the MGL EFIS would not show CHT readings. I've verified that the wires from the senders to the RDAX unit are connected, but the day closed out before I could get any further. It seems unlikely that both senders would fail at once but I would still like to verify that they're working properly. Does anyone have or know of a resistance chart for Rotax CHT senders? Thanks, Rick Girard It isn't necessary to have relatives in Kansas City in order to be unhappy. - Groucho Marx ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 12:45:23 PM PST US Subject: RotaxEngines-List: Re: CHT reading failure From: "Roger Lee" Hi rick, I can almost guarantee it isn't the two separate CHT senders. Somewhere there is a bad connection. -------- Roger Lee Tucson, Az. Light Sport Repairman - Maintenance Rated Rotax Repair Center - Heavy Maint.
