LOOKING TO ADD A TEMP GAUGE & FIX/SOLVE ELECTRICAL ISSUES-PICS

article.

I just rebuilt the entire front 4x4 section to my 2210BD. Now on to the electrical. None of my lights work and my idiot light for the engine does not either. That said as a hot rod guy I prefer a TEMP gauge for this.

Can anyone tell me if is a specific gauge for this application or brand you recommend. Also what temp its suppose to operate at since its just a light currently? Also, will I have to tap the block for a sensor or is it easier than that?

Thanks for any advise?

Ok, so I did work today and managed to fix my HEAD LAMPS and located a broken wire to the rear fender lights. Trashed so I will need to replace the wiring with new wiring beginning at the broken leads. Its one red HOT that traces back to my head lamp fuses and two GREEN with YELLOW STRIPED wires. This is all connected to FUSE #4/ Far right in the fuse box.

I managed to clean up the connections on the fuse box and now I have power to my OIL and CHARGING lights. This was the far left or #1 FUSE in the box and it also fixed my horn, which now works.

I have a TEMP LIGHT but I also have a TEMP AND FUEL GAUGE, neither of which work. I have NO POWER coming from the connector that comes out of the dash to my fuel sending unit.

I have shown a picture of the fuse box. The fuses are listed 1-4 from left to right.

#1: fixed my two working dash warning light OIL and CHARGING.

#2 IS UNKNOWN

#3 IS UNKNOWN

#4: LIGHTS.

Does anyone know what #2 and #3 source?

Also, I am trying to work on this dash from under the dash and the throttle arm goes through it and wont allow the dash to pull forward.

My turn signal is SOLID and wont turn either direction but its the least important item.

Looks like fender lights are pretty corroded and I see they sell them at HOYE. I will need these and a turn signal switch if I decide it needs one.


If I knew what the #2 and #3 fuses were suppose to source I could probably work around other issues. If one of them is suppose to source the TEMP gauge and I cant get it working then I can use the fuse block and add new wiring and a new gauge that is more accurate.

I have a REAR fender light question. When checking HOYE they well one with a single gree wire with the yellow stripe. The broken wires that I have that go to the rear are a HOT RED and two GREENS. Do these rear fenders take a GREEN and a RED or just the GREEN and than ground on the fender like a trailer light?

This is what I did to keep the idiot light and to add a separate temp gauge. You certainly don't have to do the three gauge console.

Im also looking to add an oil gauge to replace the light. I though I would have to do some major stuff but HOYE sells THIS Yanmar Tractor Parts OIL PRESSURE GAUGE ADAPTER - NPT TO "YANMAR" THREADS So I am guessing I can just add a mechanical gauge to it. What kind of oil line do you guys recommend? Or can I use an electric gauge too?

I used a 1/8" copper tube for my oil pressure line. Figured that would last longer than the plastic that came with the gauge. It is the same piece I first put on a new '68 Ford, then on a couple of other vehicles.

I know of no reason to not go with an electrical gauge if you prefer.

Go with the copper line. I installed a gauge on my YM1700 and in a few months the vibration caused the plastic line to crack and leak. I replaced it with it with a copper line about 5 years ago. 2 cyl diesel Yannies vibrate...By the way I went for the trifecta (oil, volt, and temp) gages. I has to rebuild my engine because it over heated before i installed the gaguges.

I would have thought the copper tube would have cracked (being rigid)due to the vibration from the engine.. Would have thought the plastic would have held up better to the vibration

Ok, I am doing some of what SCOTTY did, in that I am using the same gauges and a similar pod. However I do not want to mess with the idiot lights, so I will be directly going from each gauge to the OIL source and the TEMP source.

Here are the parts I bought. SCOTTY's engine is different than my 2210BD. So I need to know what adapters to purchase for the GAUGES to go directly to the OIL and TEMP sensor location now? I live in a remote area, so Im trying to avoid multiple trips to town to get this done, saving fuel.

I see HOYE sells this for the oil Yanmar Tractor Parts OIL PRESSURE GAUGE ADAPTER - NPT TO "YANMAR" THREADS its says 1/8th to yanmar threads BUT IT DOES NOT STATE WHAT A YANMAR THREAD is in comparison so I can see if common adapters out there will work?

also, since mine is a 2 cylinder I am guessing I am better off with the plastic line or buying steel, I would guess my tractor would shake that copper a lot?


these are the gauges i purchased. Sunpro CP8208 Styleline 2" Triple Gauge Kit Chrome Panel and White Faceplate | eBay

pod i purchased 2" 52mm Universal Triple 3 Hole Gauge Meter Holder Cup Dash Pillar Mount Pod | eBay

No idea what size fittings or possible adapters are coming with your kit. Many of the kits come with adapters. The oil pressure threads on a Yanmar are 1/8bpt. The temperature threads are m16-1.5.

I have question, I bought both adapters from Hoye. Do I need to use teflon ape on the YANMAR thread ends of these adapters that go into the engine?

 

[winston1]

the temperature adapter with my gauge kit came with a m16 gasket which I used. The oil adapter has tapered pipe threads. Read the note here. Yanmar Tractor Parts TEMPERATURE SENDING UNIT - (FOR GAUGE STYLE)
