RE: Latest findings Background

[Rich Kinsley <rlkinsley@xxxxxxxxx>]

I was thinking that lean is the one that burns valves, etc.. When I ran 
it on the dyno they had an A/F meter on it. It wasn't too bad. I have 
made changes since then. I do check the plugs but mostly we just go by 
feel as that's all we have available. I like to use a vacuum gauge as a 
steady reading indicates things are OK. 

I would like to have bungs installed and get an A/F meter. I think that 
would be a good tool and save the guesswork.
