Had an odd thing happen to me today. I've got an Alcor CHT gauge with a single bayonet probe. Just after taking off from a little lake coming home tonight I look down and notice CHT gauge was cold. Interesting, it was fine on the warm up and takeoff run. Engine seems to be running fine - making full RPM, running smooth. I continue back home. If I have to put down, I'd rather do it closer to home rather than in the middle of the woods with no roads. I recycle the alternator, because why not, BOOM, CHT gauge is working again, seems to be reading about normal. The CHT gauge isn't electric at all, so why would that do anything?
Any thoughts?
I was going to do a mag check once I got back home, but completely forgot. It was 9:30 and I was hungry and I had snacks in my truck. Forgive me.
