[QUOTE="Cyborg, post: 107074, member: 3426"] I haven't viewed the video yet, just taking a break from putting the roof on the apprentices playhouse. I haven't used an AF gauge before, but don't think my expectations are unrealistic. Just expecting it to tell me whats going on and final settings will be based on drivability not the gauge... and maybe a peek at the plug because the fuel we get here is still relatively normal. To me its just another tool and don't see myself chasing a specific number. Actually for street riding, I look at a dyno the same way. It can tell the operator some extremely useful information, but how the bike behaves on a dyno may or may not tell you how it is going to operate in the real world and may still require some tweaking. Later this month I'm scheduled to do some farting around with A/F sensors and data acquisition/logging, so that may alter my expectations slightly. They have a dyno there, but unfortunately it's not really motorcycle friendly. EDIT: watched the video and didn't see anything that would cause me to change my point of view or see any surprises unless I'm missing something. Slightly different ball game with programable ECUs, modern combustion chambers and fuel injection. As for over thinking the problem, I suppose that depends on your perspective and you certainly wouldn't be alone in that camp. There is no doubt one can jet a carburetor without any fancy gismos, but no regrets so far as I'm having fun learning. [/QUOTE]
