Will an A/F gauge make me happier, or will it drive me nuts?
The 914 is carburated, and it runs great. But still have explosions in the tail-pipe when engine breaking. To add to the drama, 90% of these tail-pipe explosions occur under freeway-overpasses. Whats the verdict on the Gauge Yes or No? Thanks in advance. |

Have one installed. Do look at it a lot. but I am running D-jet and used to tune the MPS. Some times just a small throttle change will take if from too lean to a better reading.
its still running a little lean. I want to hook up a vacuum gauge and compare them so I know where to make the changes. Also have one on the Harley. |

QUOTE(Olympic 914 @ May 1 2020, 09:30 AM)  I want to hook up a vacuum gauge and compare them so I know where to make the changes. I did that based on the suggestion of Frank in Germany (I think?). It was pretty instructive in terms of what throttle positions corresponds to part load, WOT, etc. |
