Kapt Kaos stopped buy to do another carb session. We looked at 2 of the spark plugs(#3 and#2) BR6ES and with the LM-1 hooked up he was reading 10.3 to 11 at idle. The plugs looked hot and the meter reads rich. We talked about heat ranges and where the meter should read and what the plugs should look like.
I sent him home with the LM-1, armed with that and the new information I had given him maybe he will show us how to tune carbs. Remember I'm going to try to move in a few years and someone out here needs to be able to pass this on.
Come on Joe show us how it works. Take lots of pics.

BR6ES ? Izzat a Beru? It would be most informative if the Capt is gonna try different plugs & heat ranges with corresponding LM-1 (I'm GUESSING that is a CO meter) readings. I use Bosch copper (WR-7 I think is the tag) and wonder what those will read, and why, and what is desirable too....

Joe, once you figure this stuff out you need to have another carb tuning clinic. I should have my engine rebuild done in 3 weeks and will need to re-tune (changing out my T pistons for S pistons and E cam). Also, talk to Thomas, he's thinking about getting a transmission rebuild clinic started.
