  • water temp gauge or sending unit, help

    hi guys

    i think i have a bad temp. gauge or sending unit.

    when i cut the key on the needle does move some off its resting point, however, when the motor is warmed up it does not move up to the first/second hash line on the gauge.

    i do have a pressure gauge and do get about 15-20 psi on plane, there have been no warning buzzers going off.


    here is what i did: turned key on, needle on gauge moved a little, disconnectd the blue wire coming off the sending unit (which is mounted on the top of the starboard side head) and grounded it, the gauge did not move, i guess that means the gauge is defective?

    is this the correct procedure? just curious why the gauge would move a little

    Make sure you have 12 volts between yellow and black wire at gauge before replacing temp gauge.
