For those of you building enclosures, would this help?

While it is designed for water cooled outboards, the apparent use of a head bolt to obtain a temp reading indicates that there may be other uses for the meter. Having a couple of OB motors, installing would be a snap vs. tapping into the water jacket. My knee jerk is that it would work equally well on an air cooled engine. Price is OK, if shipping is not too high. I'll be interested to see what you find if you do decide to pick one up. Thanks for the info!
Our air cooled gens run in the temp range of 300-400f under any appreciable load.
That gauge maxes out @220f.
Perhaps they have others for a higher temp range?
