Sure.
But you *could* run it from the bike's power if you wanted to. :)

You guys are probably just picking up the government 5g coronavirus signal, once you get the chip in your brain from the vaccine, it will go away.
Re: Trail tech temp death and rebirth
That explains it. Things sure have been weird for sure since I had COVID in March (I was sick for ten weeks).
Re: Trail tech temp death and rebirth
Was it just fucking awful?
Did you have fever dreams?
Shortness of breath?
I have asthma and I’m pretty used to breathing difficulties occasionally. For folks who aren’t used to it it must be fucking terrifying
Re: Trail tech temp death and rebirth
> Was it just fucking awful?
The exhaustion was fucking awful; even taking out the trash would leave me winded and I'd have to take a break when walking back into the house.
> Did you have fever dreams?
Not really, my fever was quite mild. I did have headaches every day which were a real drag.
> Shortness of breath?
Definitely. Like a bad asthma day every day.

I too have asthma and am pretty used to breathing difficulties. My albuterol emergency inhaler was my best friend when I had COVID.

I don't have a Trail Tech ,dead or alive , to take the sensor from , if i bought the H.F. meat temp gauge what sensor could I buy that would work ?
Re: Trail tech temp death and rebirth
In theory you could take the small glass sensor in the tip out and encapsulate it in epoxy onto a ring terminal that could be then be bolted to a head stud or the plug.
Otherwise you just have to buy shit on eBay and experiment
Re: Trail tech temp death and rebirth
Or buy the sensor alone from treatland for $24

I actually did an eBay search too , everything that came up was around $30 . Thanks for finding cheaper options for me .
Re: Trail tech temp death and rebirth
Yeah the thermocouples by themselves are dirt cheap but having the sparkplug eyelet is huge
Re: Trail tech temp death and rebirth
Not trying to self promote here but I am working on a project in gen topic using one those dirt cheap ebay thermocouples. Maybe y’all will find the info useful or maybe can help me? I don’t 100% know what I’m doing. Hoping to have a dead simple, dirt cheap head temp solution out of this.
Re: Trail tech temp death and rebirth
Another temp gauge dead.
Don’t know if it was trail tech but it had 4 screws on the back
HAHAHA like they do fucking anything, the housing is epoxied together and has a soldered in battery. But you cannot get the housing apart without trashing it. Fuck I hate these people who make these
But I have a few more harbor freight meat thermometers ready to go! Wired up and was rolling within 20min
Re: Trail tech temp death and rebirth
FYI, do NOT buy that hardline temp sensor from DennisKirk. It only goes to 302 degrees. I inquired with the company (hardline, not DennisKirk) about the misleading packaging (says 482 on the package and Hardline’s website) and they told me it’s not misleading. Just a mistake. Mistakes happen. I’ll let you guys decide. I posted reviews there and on Amazon about this product. I’m sure it would work if you never plan to go above 302 degrees, so there’s that.
Re: Trail tech temp death and rebirth
Just buy a cheapie from eBay dawg
Re: Trail tech temp death and rebirth
I got a Trail Tech. I know I’ll be searching for this thread in 4-5 years to figure out how to replace the battery, but I’m done with cheap ass China shit. Would rather pay a little more for something that actually works the way it’s supposed to the first time.

Durrrrrr
Bro everything is from China now.
Most stuff is pretty good.
If they’d only stop human rights abuses but these days we in the US don’t have a moral leg to stand on with that argument
Re: Trail tech temp death and rebirth
Just photoshop the date on the invoice of the last Trail Tech you bought to within 30 days of current. Email Trail Tech saying it didn't work right out of the box, get a free replacement. Derp
