Hi jeff,
As my MK2 is still in lots of bits.. ..Ive just whipped the sensor (that was working fine last time I used the bike) out and done a check.

Cold - 565 ohms

Lifted from a mug of just boiled water - 72 ohms and rising quite quickly as it cooled

That was testing across the centre pin to the thread, using a digital meter.
Hope that helps.

That was helpful Tony 8) , so whats the prognosis on the MK2 , is it a potential runner or a money pit

Hi Mike,
what with work, birthdays and a cpl other things, Ive not delved deeper than whipping the barrel off, which revealed nowt much wrong..But, I did manage to score a very good MK 3 bottom end complete off weee bay (the one with the broken casing where the kickstart shaft resides) at a good price and when I collected it, the bloke had the barrel, head and a good piston which he offered me, so for £100 for the lot ive got a good lot of spares. Im hoping to get to it next week.

thanks for the reply that is very helpful
also looking at your replies if you have another cylinder head does that mean that you have a spare temp sensor and if so do you want to sell it please let me know i want to ride my bike but need to make sure not going to over heat .

many thanks
