CHT gauge - bad ground

Post by SkyMaule »

I removed one of the screws that holds the gauge cluster in the panel. My panel has been repainted. The screws that hold the cluster in are just screwed into a tinnerman clip. I replaced the screw with a bolt and two star washers. I also put a ground wire on it and grounded it in another location. My cht reads way lower now. No flicker or random increases in temp. No change in fuel quantity. I also put a single mitchell cht gauge in that had some numbers on it. Where the two shades of green meet on the old gauge is 360 degrees.

For the guys I promised pictures of the cowling, I have them. Just having a little computer trouble.

There should be a ground wire on the back of the cluster.
When lying on your back looking up at the back of the cluster it is to the right and goes to the frame.
