11.8 Analogue Engine Gauges (all J-Series)
11.8.1 Description
The Oil Pressure, Oil Temperature, Voltage, Exhaust Gas Temperature (EGT, where equipped), hour
meter (where equipped) and Cylinder Head Temperature (CHT) Gauges are electronic instruments.
With the exception of the CHT gauge the instruments require power to operate which is supplied
from the main bus bar.
The CHT gauge does not require power
– it connects only to a thermocouple which is fitted to the
exhaust-side spark plug of the hottest cylinder of the engine.
