I just installed a new westach Dual egt gauge and one new sender. The plane originally had 1 EGT gauge. I am using the existing sender since the old gauge is a westach as well. Both( new and old) senders are working however I noticed after shutdown that one gauge in the dual egt continued to read the temp at shutdown and tapered off as the engine cooled and the other one stopped reading right after shutdown.
Since these are non powered gauges is there something wrong? Also the new sender is longer than the old one and it's head is shaped a little different.

Maybe I didn't word that the best. The issue is I bought a new dual EGT gauge and one new sender. I am using the old sender on the pto side and the new one on the mag side. The new sender mag side reading continues to read say around 800 degrees and tapers off gradually over a few mins after engine shutdown. the other sender pto side basically tapers off quickly after engine shutdown.
What is the gauge suppose to do normally? Slowly taper off or rather rapidly?
The only think I could thing off that would cause this is the sender touching the exhaust pipe wall, however I am 95% sure thats not the case.
