Does the 650G not have an oil temp gauge?

If you aren't experiencing spark knock under those conditions then the temp stayed okay.

Hi,

The oil light on your gauges indicates pressure. If the light comes on you have no pressure.

A temperature gauge is just that, it tells you what your oil temperature is. There are aftermarket kits available.

Yes, a "snarky" remark. Sometimes I get in a silly mood too.

Thank you for your indulgence,
