mark35gun Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 does anyone know if these are available, or an alternative, i would quite like it to work and it wont because the sender is goosed??? Quote Link to comment
Gixer1460 Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 They are usually fairly indestructible - are you sure its 'goosed'? I think the thread is something like 1/8" NPT so any water / oil temp sender of that size should work although matching the resistances could be hit or miss? Have you tested the gauge as that is more likely to fail? Quote Link to comment
mark35gun Posted April 22, 2020 Author Share Posted April 22, 2020 gauge is fine, so i assume the internals of the sender is at fault, tried it out and heated with a fag lighter then quickly screwed back in while still hot, nothing, connect the cable to it to negative and gauge responds as expected, tried on the bench and its open circuit @ 100 c Quote Link to comment
Gixer1460 Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 Yeah sounds like its FUBAR'd ! _ Try this....... https://www.Eblag.co.uk/i/143218994785?chn=ps&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=710-134428-41853-0&mkcid=2&itemid=143218994785&targetid=876284534867&device=c&mktype=pla&googleloc=1006733&poi=&campaignid=9446077381&mkgroupid=98366966800&rlsatarget=pla-876284534867&abcId=1139356&merchantid=7328234&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI6uL4qJP-6AIVmK3tCh255Q1FEAQYBSABEgLur_D_BwE Assuming the thread IS 1/8 NPT ! ! !

mark35gun Posted April 23, 2020 Author Share Posted April 23, 2020 thanks , i have ordered one, i have an 1/8th npt tap somewhere i will try it later on, if the resistance is off i will include a suitable resistor to give correct readings Quote Link to comment
