EGT, water temp, and tach
I calibrated and tested the Candoo today. Calibration takes all of about 10 seconds as the gauge should read 50 mph when you turn it on. If not, use the supplied magnet to increase or decrease the reading until its exactly 50 mph. The speedo goes to 0 mph to tell you the satellite signal is aquired.
I wanted to test the accuracy before install since the single gauge hood is kind of a pain to split. Happy to report it was dead on to 60 mph with both my truck speedometer and a gps phone app!
I have a cleaner gauge around here somewhere ill use but just need to find it. The needle is readable in person, but doesnt really show in the pics.

Yes, i got up to 75 and the gauge still reads. Ill probaby make some small marks on the face for 65 and 70 just for reference.
Thnx for the vts offer, i have a minty one of those on the ski.
Well the first trip to the lake for break in went really well. Idled perfectly on the trailer, no leaks after 3-4 minutes, so was good to head out on the lake.
Water was a little chilly at 60, but not as bad as I thought it would be. Not an exciting ride fir break in bit definitely felt good! Cant wait until i can open this thing up.
I was really glad i had the splash guard. Cool water and ambient temp was only about 70 so it was nice to stay mostly dry.

It looks great. Is 1170 the max egt? if so that's pretty high.
Oh what's that thing that says 2820 then?
Ha yah i was undecided. Im thinking they fall off on their own once im able tongo full throttle anyways.
Its coming, i had already put the HT guard on there and didnt have the time to swap yet. Im not a fan of the HT, but i guess it does the job.
Lol, I know you asked a few posts back, buy now seeing it Full Monty they kinda stood out. I'll be totally honest, I'm not a fan of a ski all stickered up with extra stickers. The race skis I get it, they sponsor the rider. Now, all those stickers on your tool box in your shop, hell yeah it looks cool! Remember, it's just my opinion, it's your ski so do as you see fit.
I don't mind it. It reminds me of my old Neptune Superstock.
Well it was 50 and 10-20 mph winds. Got another hour of break in on the ski but got soaked and freezing even through rain gear. Ski ran great but a little rich on low end. Got to the point where i did a few 90% throttle pulls and check plugs. They were light gray each time so quit for the day as ill need to up the high speed jet. Was still lean even at 3 turns out on hs.
Currently 120 lows and 130 highs. Not sure i should move up to 135, 137.5 or straight to 140. Looks like i may still be tuning on thursday at norman [emoji53]

That sure seems like a lot of fuel. Are they 46's cause that's about the most I've seen on 44's.
Hit about 53 or so. Candoo is dead on with phone GPS. Didnt hold it for more than about 15 seconds.
44s for sure. Maybe ill just take it up a small step.
