Tracy, 
Speaking of EGT's. I am using my Dynon Skyview to read my EGT's and not the EM2. 

With the EGT sensors not connected the EGT readout blinks. I asked you if there was a way to stop the blinking and you suggested connecting the sensors to each other which I did, both the red wire to red and yellow to yellow on the separate sensors as well as the red to yellow on the individual sensors. None of this stopped the blinking. 

Do you have any other suggestions as the blinking is a bit distracting?

Thanks. 

Chris

Possible it may be going open (thermocouple sensors are normally a shorted junction) but also possible you are picking up noise on the leads from some source.  These are millivolt level signals so it doesn't take much noise to make a wild reading.  Keep leads away from high tension wires (spark plug leads)  and lines with a lot of switching current (injector, ignition coil power, etc).

Info needed about EGT sensors, on my RWS EM2 #2 EGT about every 10 seconds will come up as 4000 deg. F. or so.  Is the sensor going open or shorted intermittently.  Have not checked it yet, just removed break-in oil after 24 hrs. run time & went with 20w50w full synthetic, getting ready for first flight ( got delayed last year by coolant & oil temp readings in-op., solved & my youngest daughter grad. EMU, Meagan & Cody moved to Bloomington Illinois for Cody's new job, with dad as one of the movers ).    David R. Cook  RV6A Rotary  Lansing MI.
