I have a Wideband Air fuel gage and have been adjusting my MPS. When I was tuning injected motorcycles I was shooting for ~12.7:1. What numbers do I want to shoot for in a 2.0L FI D-Jet runing regular fuel.
I was thinking that I want to keep the numbers setween 12:1 and 13.5:1. I have hear that >14:1 is to lean. |

Only worry about the numbers under load, accelerating and cruising. Forget about the numbers the rest of the time and idle can be a bit lean. |

Sounds good, I'm at 13:1 at Idle (I can adjust the ECU screw and TB screw)
The rest of the time I'm between 12:1 WOT and 13.5:1 low load depending on speed and load. I'm trying to avoid going over 14:1 is 12:1 to rich at full load and WOT? Is staying <14:1 good? |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Thanks, I started out at 14.5:1 to16:1. I think I'm done adjusting. Now I will set my back up MPS to the same numbers and check it out. |

I'm trying to avoid going over 14:1 is 12:1 to rich at full load and WOT? Is staying <14:1 good? Yes that will work. however at idle there is really no reason not to be at 14.7:1. Any more rich than that and one is simply contaminating the oil quicker. The only reason to go rich to say 12.6:1 is for power. But even 13:1 is plenty rich for power. If you are pinging, then the timing needs to be adjusted. Excessive fuel dilutes cylinder wall lubrication which increases wear. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) |

I say 12 to 1 at WOT starting at 2000rpms and it will lean out to 14 to 1 at 5500rpms. What you don't want is 15 to 1 at 5500rpms.

Avoid hanging out in the 14.7 - 15 - 15.5 zone (this is the death zone). One can go leaner when under part throttle cruise as high as 16-17 and see lower CHT's but only if your using a vacuum advance distributor. If your using a centrifugal only distributor shoot for 13.2 (+-.5) across the board.
This chart shows how CHT's and AFR & vacuum advance work. The dashed line in the middleis 14.7 stoich ![]() |
