Hi

fitting water temp gauge on R1 carb model. Where is best to take the water temperature from. Where to locate the sender.

Many thanks

Where it exits the engine for a gauge, so if you cannot plumb just before the thermstat then fit in the top hose.

just before it goes into the rad. (not out)

Yes a gauge should go in the engine water outlet before the thermostat if that is not suitable anywhere in the cylinder head, or in the coolant by-pass circuit

Hi
This is the layout we used & works perfectly.
(See waterworks sketch on our photo archive)
Hope it helps.

BEST PLACE IS JUST BEFORE THE WATER ENTERS THE RADIATOR
