first thing i see is that it's not temperature compensated - meaning, it's going to be affected by the ambient temperature and won't give consistent readings.

It only measures the difference between the hot end (your cylinder head) and the cold end (up at the gauge). So on a plain gauge, the reading drifts with ambient temperature — same engine, colder day, lower reading.

A temperature-compensated gauge corrects for that. It measures the ambient temperature at the gauge end and adds it back in, so the needle shows the true head temperature no matter the weather. Worth having on an air-cooled engine, since CHT is the number you're actually managing.
