912ULS
I ran my engine for the first time yesterday but did not open it up as the oil temp did not rise above 50^C. The gauge is ok and the sensor has a cold resistance of about 1300ohms which agrees with the rotax manual.
I have the standard cooling setup with the oil cooler in its normal position and the run was made without cowlings fitted. Outside temp was about 23^C.
What oil temp should I expect and in what time? I don’t want to trash things at this stage.

Mike,
Assuming you are using the standard connector it is very easy to get a high resistance connection at this point and this will give low readings. Make sure the spade connector is a tight fit on the sensor. Gently squeese with pliers to close up the gap.
There is always a dramatic difference in temps when running without cowls so expect low temps. Having said that, for the very first run I would have expected a higher temp. If the guage has reached 50C you could try opening it up to 3500rpm to see if it gets warmer.
Regards
Brian Davies

Thanks for your input Brian. I shall increase the revs a little on the next run and maybe blank off some of the oil cooler to see the effect of that.
Regards
Mike
