Thermocouples.....

av8ersteve · Feb 13, 2013, 09:40 AM

Hey all. I broke the tip off my engine temp probe while inserting into the hole and wondering if anyone knew where to get another one from. I don't know if mine is now good or bad, I just don't want anything standing in my way for this weekends first start up and would like to have a back-up on hand. It has omega written on it and it's yellow. Does anyone know what part # it is at the Omega website?

Thanks.

It's a regular "K" style probe. You can use one from any engine. (or just about) I buy them direct from Xicoy for the best price... but it you need one quick... you can get one with a servo lead from Wren USA. OR... if you need the big yellow, polarized plug... you can get one from AMT USA. (US MicroTurbines)

They are K type thermo couplers but there is the grounded and ungrounded types. I know that the RAM Engines use the ungrounded probe. Not sure about the others. You can get them from omega.com. This is the product number that I ordered for my RAM (KMTSS-062U-6)

Man that sounds amazing! I am ready for my first start up. Scheduled for tomorrow. I may have a bad thermocouple though so it maybe delayed until Carlos at RTI contacts me back. I'm still going to give it a shot as I don't know if its good or bad, I just know I droke the tip off the one I have. If temp doesn't register the ecu will never kick in the fuel pump from what I've read and running on propane alone is bad, no oiling of the bearings. Im going to vid it so you all will get to see. Im so excited!

Good news! Carlos is sending me a new probe Tuesday. If this one is bad, it's replacement is on the way.
