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. |

QUOTE(Mark Henry @ May 1 2020, 10:22 AM)  I wonder if there's a market for a rental unit kit complete with jet reams, some jets sizes, jet sizing gauges and a SS bung and plug? What do you think peeps would be willing to pay for this kit rental? How long of a rental? One week, two or three weeks? It would be rental plus any supplies used. Hopefully the kit could then be shipped direct to the next guy. I have a perfect temporary 914 cable for a 14point7 SLC wideband already made, real stealth easy install, hard part is welding in the bung. One connector and a keyed positive and ground at the dash. I might be able to figure out a ashtray mount for the meter. I only would need to get the jet sizing gauges and a collection of jet sizes for both the IDA and IDF carbs. I have every thing else. What else would be needed for a complete tuning kit? And don’t forget about an nice long, detailed video of how to... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) As for the bung, get one of these, and a long enough cable for the o2 sensor instead.  |

I just used one of those on my DJET car but now people are saying it's too far from the engine for accurate readings? Thoughts? Mike |
