Carb Temperature Gauge

To All:

Common indoor/outdoor digital thermometers will work for this application, at
least on the test stand. These units are inexpensive, more than accurate
enough to monitor the temperatures in question. Using an array of these
(three or four) along your manifold offers a nice picture of the length of the
endothermic zone.

For best results the metal under the sensor should be bare, the sensor applied
with heat-sink compound and secured with some sort of clamp. (Hose clamps
work.)

I've found carb inlet temp is most easily monitored at the carb heat box.

Solid-state cooking thermometers have sufficient range to measure carb heater
muff performance. The long stainless steel probe may be bent about 1" back
from the tip. (Makes for neater mounting.)
