Hi all.

I'm looking to rig up a temp sender on a small HP motor that doesn't have one from the factory.
I want to do a warning alarm, it seems as though a temp gauge would escape attention.

I'm having trouble finding the sender. I need a floating ground (I guess) type sender that will ground out if it reaches 180 or so. I plan on rigging this up to a warning horn of some type.

I have found some but they are all made for auto temps, looks like 220 or so to ground.

I plan on building a small bracket so the end of the sender will just lay on the outboards cylinder head.

Anyone do anything like this or have any ideas?

what does my model number have to do with this?

I'm just looking for a universal sender I can lay against a head.
