Richard, sorry maybe I miss the point but nearly every multible cylinder engine uses seperate venturi's and fuel metering devices, do the V8 cars use 8 egt's? That was a tongue and cheek comment, using a $900 gauge on an old F440 motor... CR Richard Schmidt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Chris,
I have to take exception to your statement. First, I don't know where you get your engines for $50. Let the rest of us in on it. If you run a two cylinder engine with more than one carburetor, you need two EGT gauges. I am not sure what type of racing you do, but even in road racing, where sometimes you have relatively long straights, I still would not have time to switch my one EGT display between two probes. Plus trying to remember after the race which cylinder was reading high would be very tough. (did I have the switch to the left or right when I saw 1300 degs ?)

Any of those guages are worth more than that motor!!! There's no reason to run 2 separate egt's, you can run 2 leads with a switch to look at each, you can also use a separate water temp gauge. I wouldn't waste money on the latest and greatest gauges for that motor.... > > > CR > > Lee Tilton wrote: > I run the Kaw 440 so there are two EGTs, plus one water equals 3! > http://mail.yahoo.com http://mail.yahoo.com ________________________________ FormulaCar Magazine - A Proud Supporter of Formula 500 The Official Publication of Junior Formula Car Racing Subscribe Today! www.formulacarmag.com or 519-624-2003 _________________________________ _______________________________________________ F500 mailing list - [email protected] To unsubscribe or change options please visit: http://f500.org/mailman/listinfo/f500 *** Please, DO NOT send unsubscribe requests to the mailing list! ***
