Isspro EGT gauge question

[moparguy]

While pulling in the horse trailer in the Ozarks last week, I decided the egt gauge was reading a couple of hundred degs. low. In the past just messing with the connections between the pyrometer probe and wires to the gauge would correct things.



This time, I had difficulty getting the little nylock nut to turn and broke the yellow wire on the gauge side of the connection. So, while still at the ranch at camp, I cut the connections and twisted everything back together, with the idea that I'd solder the wires when I got home.



Now for the question, when I stripped the insulation back on the red and yellow wires, the red had two wires under the insulation, any problem with my solder plan? The reason for my concern is I'm not sure how the two wires in the red insulation were handled in the factory connector.



By the way, my campsite repair was the pits, it now runs about 600degs low. Due no doubt to poor continuity at the twisted wire connection. If the solder doesn't help, guess it's time to replace the pyro probe or gauge.



Thanks, Ronnie

DIS in Lubbock will sell you a Isspro colored pyro , wire and probe for about a $125. Go for it. I have not had any problems with the connections. I tightend the #$^*^ out of em, entoumbed them in silicon and then the spagetti with the itty bitty tie wraps.
