Al,

I'd suggest you go ahead and pull the probes, build a test tube from =
clear
nylon tubing (3/4" id is good), and put the probe in with some gasoline =
and
do some calibrating.  I pulled mine (Westach -but very similar -if not =
the
same as the Skysports), and reinstalled them without any leaks =
appearing.  I
used a product called hypalon which seals gasoline well but does not =
harden.
It is in a tube, blue color and you can get it at Advance Auto, =
Autozone,
etc.

Then you'll have calibrated probes and you can determine just what the
"proprietary" output is. Then I'd share the secret with the whole world. =

By the way, I considered Skysport, but bought Westach and got good =
support
from them.=20

That's the plan at this point.  I told Marshall (Skysports) that I would =
let
everyone on this and the rotrary engines lists know of my experience =
with
them; as well as do the measurement and post it in case anyone was
interested.  No response so far.

Thanks for the tip on the Hypalon.
