CHT 3 no reading
So my number three CHT is not reading. Things are opened up so I changed the number three probe and powered things up, still nothing. I left the system on and wiggled the firewall forward wires, searched for a short. Nothing. I guess I need to open the panel up and see if things are loose in...
