I'm exploring carburettor inlet temperature levels for an O200 engine - I want to make sure that our carb heat installation is working correctly and have installed a thermistor in the inlet spider just downstream of the carb butterfly.
If you have a carb air inlet temperature gauge fitted, what sort of temperatures are you getting on your gauge? The sort of data I want is related to OAT and inlet temperature before and after application of carb heat. If the gauge is only indicating yellow/green or whatever, information on what those arcs represent in terms of temperature would be helpful.
Alternatively you could tell me what sort of temperatures I should be looking for to ensure no icing - maybe that's a better way to think about it.
