stuartasutherland Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Hi, can anyone help? I've recently put an EGT on my Thor 200 to help with tuning and keep a better eye on temps. From what I can see, i should be sitting around 600 degrees. It is sitting about 2 inches from the exhaust outlet, just before it goes round the bend. I've just replaced my old card (walbro) for a new one as it wasn't holding pressure. My mate checked the new one and all is fine. I'm struggling still to get it to run sweet but just wanted to know what your experience of EGT is please and reasons as to why I should be reaching 800+ degrees. My CHT reads normal at about 180 - 200. Paramotors - they're great when they are working! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuartasutherland Posted October 21, 2016 Author Share Posted October 21, 2016 It seems to be sitting around 180-220 on the CHT (which is my usual working CHT). its a PPG meter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nforster Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 If the cht is that then sounds all good, check with mark Morgan re ppg meter, egt as you know very dependant on position of probe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Morgan Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Reading of the EGT will depend where you place the sensor... If the Plug colour and CHT temp is good use your EGT temp as a guide and set the warning accordingly any probe give me a call Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
