Dyno was still reading suss when I ran Ha-Ha there a month back.
<edit> Greig and Graham reckon it's better now.

BTW, in a post above I stated Greig owns an air/fuel ratio meter. This is not correct.... it belongs to GR.

Barney's mixture is now sorted. 8) The #6 needles were fine, problem was too much dashpot damping (20W/50).
Took both dampers out, tipped the oil out, running with them dry now. Going like crap off a shovel... :P

A/F ratio now 12.8-13.0 at full power.

note to self... gotta get me one of these meters.... :twisted:

doesn't matter if the dyno is not "reading right" unles you want absolute numbers for bragging rights :roll: . what is most important is that all the tuning is done on the same dyno so you can make sure you are getting maximum hp at all the right points, correct a/f ratios etc.

Most rolling roads don't `read right' anyhow. In UK, some are miles out (usually reading high)- so people go there to get more (pretend) HP....
Peter Baldwin's is generally said to be worst in this regard. :lol:
