Scooterotica

For running tound town. How long would it take roughly to get the exhaust temp over 400 degrees C?

Strange question Bilko, more importantly how does it run and what does the plug look like at fixed intervals? Around town the temps will vary greatly around the low end as you are on and off the throttle.

Mike, I thought you'd be the first to answer.

Apologies for the misleading question.

I'm actually trying to see if the bloody gauge is working or not!

my EGT doesn`t show anything at tick over, but as soon as i actually start to ride the scoot it rises instantly.

Take the Probe out and heat with blow torch

Both good advice, you could also try swapping the wires over.

I'll get onto it tomorrow.

Thank you.

Hmm, the instructions that came with my egt suggested not to heat up the thermocouple up with an external heat source.

Hi
I guess it depends if you have analogue or digital gauge. My digital one shows between 100 and 150 degrees c on tickover. Take it for a run on an open road for a mile and it should register over 400 degrees quickly unless its rich and spluttery.
I prefer the digital type as they are far more accurate.
Hope this helps

Thanks for the replies.

Took it for a longer spin and it works
