Oil Temp readings

[bmiller269]

I have just completed a test flight with my d100/120 setup and everything went ok but I keep getting a oil temp warning. I set the alarm at 245. I was watching the gauge and it would jump all over the place 209,248,218,209,250,218 it was like every quarter second it was changing value. with oil that is not how it should act. o360 with 6 qts Sensor type 1 is set. tried other types and still saw it bouncing around by just higher numbers. Any help would be great thanks

Do you have a good ground from engine to firewall and battery?

I finally resolved this issue by using one of Westach third party two wire units with the ground hooked to the D120 directly. You can find the info in the FAQ/Wiki area of the support tab. Bob

I will check my ground on the engine before I try the Westach. Thanks for the Help Bob
