Gidday, 	
Can someone please remind me of the CHT sensing options for the Rotax 914? I know under spark plug sensors can be used, but that it can effect spark plug torque, so I am interested in whether there is a port on a cylinder etc that can be used accurately, or whether water temperature is the better method of monitoring engine temperature health. Thanks in anticipation. Regards

G'day Tony,



The 914 comes with two CHT sensors, one on the front left head, the 

other on the rear right head.

You just connect one of those to your gage. Everything is the 

installation manual.

Naturally, since all the temps limits in the manual are CHT temps, those 

are the temps you need to monitor.



FWIW,

Best regards,

Hi! Tony .  There is a position to the side of the rocker box which is dry ( no coolant and no oil  to  receive the sensor which is not unlike a  little cylindrical sensor definitely NOT an under plug sensor .) On the 914 it is also vital to have a water flow temperature sensor in the coolant  “manifold” pipe passing down the rear of the engine bay to the radiator..  It is no good sensing the coolant temperature anywhere else it won’t be reliable.
