I know my tach reads high compared with my tach/dwell meter. Second: make sure the carbs are balanced. I've spend a lot of time adjusting a carb which wa; /html/mgs/1995-12/msg00441.html (8,136 bytes)

The colourtune doesn't actually tell you the mixture. It just shows you one view of the flame. I had old, high resistance plug wires and the colourtune showed "rich" even when the carbs w; /html/mgs/1995-12/msg00442.html (9,380 bytes)

Wear there could also cause richness. Let's see.. I assume the pistons aren't stuck and the needles are installed to the correct "depth". John M. Tri; /html/mgs/1995-12/msg00447.html (8,388 bytes)
