Default Wideband A/F gauge

Finally had the O2 sensor bung welded in today.

......and yes, while they were at it I had them straighten out that right exhaust tip.

Very impressive Autometer gauge. I also connected a wide open throttle switch....no not for NO2 but it would work with that.......so the gauge will store the value for later recall.

Normally cruises at 14.5 and at WOT I see it hit 9.0

Still have that annoying part throttle stab 10 KR issue but it'* 0 at WOT. :?

9.0:1 Thats pretty rich ... I'm not a expert at tuning but I would think that would be alittle richer then what our cars like to make their best power at. What are you going to do for the part throttle KR?

9 is lean.
16 is rich

Oh oh.

If I am not butal with the accelerator pedal at part throttle and ease into it or nail it from a stop, KR is not an issue.

Like Ed said "What are you going to do about that part throttle issue?"

Coming from a guy that saw 14.9 KR yesterday..that 10 degrees is going to pull back a load of timing long enough to affect power.

And is it me or has the number gone up again? This started as a low 2-3KR, progressed to 5KR, appeared in another thread as 7KR and is now 10KR? Yikes..

Correct. Lower is richer. The higher number is the mount of air. The 1 is the amount of fuel.

15:1 is 15 air, 1 fuel. 9.0:1 is 9 air, 1 fuel.

Or wire up some spark plugs into your exhaust tips

Hey wait a minute

I see why I was confused. In the literature and even manual the gauge face is shown reverse to the colours on the actual gauge.

That reverse writing part is for when you are in Canada... it reverts to the normal way when you cross the border.
