    Default Replacing Rotax 912iS EGT Probes?

    The #4 cylinder EGT probe seem to be intermittent. I get a temp reading on the Garmin but a Lane light periodically turns on and Garmin says Cyl #4 EGT failure. Nothing obvious with the probe so I'm assuming a sharp bend in the factory wiring created the problem. Hopefully a new probe will solve the situation. I really don't need a Lane light turning on during the first flight.

    I find Alcor probes readily enough but have found anything that looks compatible with the 912iS EGT harness plug. Any suggestions or sources?

    I get them from California Power Systems, (west coast Rotax supplier). Have replaced 2 in 300 hrs on engine' I carry a spare on long cross-country flights. Not inexpensive.

    Thanks Neville,

    I've sent CPS an email asking for a part number. Do the probes come with wiring plugs that connect to the 912iS harness.
