It's a physically different gauge even, yes, so it may well be mis-matched as you suggest. I guess I could get out the infrared/flir device and validate it. Where is the best place to gauge the temp?

It was the gauge. Just swapped it out and it was good to go. What I did notice was that it was running a bit warmer than I'd seen previously (if the gauge was to be believed). Mostly it'd been around 180F in the past. But maybe it's just a higher ambient temp (92F) today that's causing it...

Wanted to throw out there that I found a NOS beede gauge on ebay for $62 (including $12 S&H). The seller has quite a few left if anyone is looking.

Even if the temp gauge isn't working, the 'emergency stop' feature related to coolant temp would shut it down, no?

I'm going to check and see if the wires just vibrated loose. It didn't 'look' that way when I gave it a quick check last night, but I'll get more into it this evening. I don't know what to think about the temp. It doesn't 'smell' hot by any means, but other than that, I haven't a clue. I...

Howdy, While looking at my 802a running the other day, I noticed 2 things: the temp gauge was non-functional (needle at 7 o'clock position) and the coolant bottle was low. Famous last words: the temp gauge "was working last time I fired it up". I checked the radiator (full) and added a bit...
