Default Heat gauge

Years ago I had a buggy with a VW air cooled engine. It had a ring that went on a sparkplug in place of the regular sparkplug metal gasket. This ring connected to a heat gauge so that I could get a reading on head temperature. Does anyone know if there is some easy way of monitoring engine temperature on my ASW 150 Carbide 7150.

Didn't know they made such a thing but that is a fantastic idea. I would like to have one as well.

the trailtech has the function of engine temp, you will need a sending uint that goes around the spark plug.

Default Cylinder Head Temperature Gauge

Thanks, I looked up the TrailTech but I couldn't get a price from their website, except for the sensor. Shipping into Canada for the sensor was double the price I pay for shipping from other US suppliers, so I just left the site.

Single cylinder gage...

I've bought from the spruce guys before, and the CHT stuff is top quality.

But since they don't advertise here, no telling how long, or if these links will survive.
