I don't have one for sell but I just had one hooked up to my JPI 700. I was surprised to see that the original gauge and the JPI gauge read exactely the same.

does the JPI show the correct temp even before startup. I live in Massachusetts and during winter I would like to know whether my preheater has actually worked. I am thinking it may not show temperature if its below a certain low value - say 100F ?

 

Thanks,

Bodi- It sure does. It's nice to hit the master and check the oil temp on a cold morning before hooking up the engine heater and returning a few hours later to see a significient change and much warmer oil. Since I just got an engine overhaul I wanted to know what the oil temp was before starting my runup and it does that to a tee.

I have the OAT and Oil Temp probes and when I hit the master all temps agree with each other, including the cylinder heads.

interesting - I only see 40F or 50F before engine startup for the CHT even after I have preheated for the whole night and outside temps are 20F (Reiff preheater system) - I dont have OAT or Oil Temp. I havent checked it in the summer though - because now I dont care.

Although I'd better get the preheater checked out before fall/winter ..
