I've got the Gunsons standard model - the Pro just looks to include volt and
dwell meters etc. My Gunsons is over-reads by about 2% which is a huge
amount. I have to have an annual emissions check on the V8 so adjust it to
the Gunsons (4.5%) then get a print-out from the testing station that shows
1.9%! It runs poorly like that, so I use the Gunsons to adjust it to about
6% and hope I am still within 4.5%.
You have to adjust the carbs by the normal means to get the correct
*balance* of air and mixture (i.e. irrespective of CO), then adjust both
mixtures by the same amount in the same direction to get the correct CO
reading.
