Pyrometer Limits

and i dont use continuous full power since my truck is high geared there aint no use for full power unless im taking off or pulling a heavy load

Well it senses voltage engine water temp and oil pressure too but i was using a thermometer on the manifold while i tweaked my pyrometer to read the correct temp

and i also played around with the range coefficient setting but like i said the temp matched my thermometer since the first pyrometer reading was off by 500 degrees

Sounds like you're having fun with it. A couple thoughts that may be helpful: I realize the 500 degree difference you saw was just an approximate observation, but 1050 F on a type K should read about 810 F if the instrument was mis-configured for type J (assuming 70 F at the cold junction of the instrument).

Also, if you are comparing with a "temp gun" (infrared pyrometer) on the exhaust manifold, it will read much colder then the exhaust gases inside, with a large temperature lag, plus other inaccuracies associated with infrared surface temp instruments.

i see ur point so thats y i ended up using my multimeter thermal probe ports and a short piece of jumper wire to get the exhaust gas temp it might not be dead on but i its with in 5 degrees so i dont think 5 degrees will hurt much it not like its a 100 degrees off

But it has all the power i want for now until i can get a propane injection kit for it

I just finished up my conversion on my Kohler 4KW genset, from gas to propane. Just a simple way to inject propane into the carb air intake. Runs just great. Will post pic's tomorrow, to late for taking pic's.

But here is how I did it similar. http://www.otherpower.com/otherpower_propane_convert.html

Bought the regulator on ebay $149 from Nash Fuel. It comes with the fuel shutoff solenoid with the regulator, cheapest place I could find one. Free ship also. Nash Fuel is in Kentucky, only 2 days shipping to Kansas. There P/N is IMP-039-122-FL with Fuel Lock.

also does anyone know where i might find a slightly used injection pump and injectors worth the money?

I have a spare that was rebuilt less than a year ago, 100 bucks. PM if you want it.

How many miles r on it and is it for turbo or non turbo?
