Hi Graham,
I emailed them and are waiting for a response.
I think you may be right. My current theory (and hope) is that somehow the
unit has switched from Centigrade to Farenheit without changing the over
temp limits. When I was running the engine yesterday the oil temps and CHT's
were indicating between 140 and 160 degrees and if this was a farenheit
reading that would have been ok ( the engine was not up to full operating
temp) . The only problem was that it was tripping the overtemp warning lamp.
At the time I didnt check to see if the system was set to C or F.
Normally the oil is about 105C and the CHT about 90C at normal operating
temp. This would transalate into 240 and 220 F.
Unfortunately I cant get at the engine again until wednesday.
Thanks for the hint anyway.
Regards,
Carl
PS - Are you coming to the Dinner on Saturday?
