Re: Kohler K-series engine temperature
I'm telling you they're watching our every move. Just as I said I won't buy another thermometer the multifunction device that tells hours, RPM, and temperature at the spark plug went on sale on Amazon.

Re: Kohler K-series engine temperature
Worked the loader today for about a half hour. Temperature near the spark plug with the IR device was around 248F or 120 Celsius.
Why do you think this is high @Propane57 ?

Re: Kohler K-series engine temperature
Just seems hot Eugen. Your getting to low oven cookin temperature there. Maybe that’s what it’s supposed to be.
Is that with the engine running or shut off. If shut off, how long is it off before you test it. I’m gunna run my 224 with in the next few days and I’ll see what it is.

Re: Kohler K-series engine temperature
Sounds reasonable , you would expect the head to have some heat seeing that is where the fire is . Internal temps need to be over 212F to burn off condensation. So if you consider 218F to be minimum internal temp , 248F is only 30 F above that where the fire is . Now as long as it stay around there and doe not continue to climb up and up . All should be ok in my mind .

Re: Kohler K-series engine temperature
The do hickey has been installed. Temp sensor between the head and spark plug.
Did some work with the tractor. The temperature stabilized at 312.8F or 156C. This is the loader tractor, 644.

Maybe I make cookies
Seriously now, unless someone else can prove otherwise this temperature at the spark plug is perfectly healthy.
By the way I checked timing with the ohm meter and points and the mark on the flywheel, it seems fine.

@Eugen did you sandwitch a thermocoupler between the plug and head.
