I think that when there is more moisture in the air that there is more oxygen in the air too (remember that water is made up of 2 hydrogen & 1 Oxygen molecule)- more moisture in air means more Oxygen

In a sense, you absolutely correct. It actually has to do with the density of the air. Cooler air (including moister air) is denser. That does provide more O2 for out cars to burn. Pilots learn about

Actually, the first writer is totally wrong - more moisture means LESS USABLE oxygen in the air. If you were right, water wouldn't douse a fire and we could easily breath underwater. The oxygen and h

Sam, you're right on about the denser air, power and density altitude. Here in No California we have weekend pilots flying from the Bay Area (basically sea level) to Lake Tahoe at about 6200' in the

Setting the timing will cause more of the HCs to burn off in the exhaust. Leaning out reduces the HCs and raising the RPM to about 1100 allows your engine to run at a speed that it breaths a bit bett
