If anyone has a nasty old 5-speed disc-braked AVL setting around they need a good home for I'm willing to drag it off... :o ;D
A trifecta of Pre-Unit Bullets: a Red Deluxe 500, a Green Standard 500, and a Black ES 350.

The air-fuel ratio in a lean-burn engine can be as high as 65:1, while the stoichiometric air-fuel ratio for gasoline is 14.64:1.
The lean limit is the maximum ratio of fuel to air that an engine can run smoothly without misfiring.
Mine seems to be just over the lean limit then as a bit of misfiring was about the symptom I was getting and only at certain points. So I don't want to be looking for anything other than lean, just not misfiring or over heating. Annoying that I've got multiple things pulling at me time wise

And miss all this fun?? These seem so simple I don't even need to understand this guy to get it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=soQJ-6rn-xc (classic use of their horns in the background as a bonus, like they are chatting to each other with them)

Well, the Electra-X was imported into the USA, just keep your eye on those Craig's List postings. Or make tooseevee a decent offer for his Fireball AVL Classic and get it shipped over, we definitely want to keep THAT one in the family.

        Believe me, there have been periods when I have wanted to pay the shipping & Give it to you just so I would no longer have to See it every day. You guys don't quite yet understand what it does to me. I just don't want to (can't) deal with the "process" of selling it. It Must go to the best, right person.

      That's way too much shipping $$$$ for Anybody to pay. A museum might pay that much if it was original.

      Let's all stop this now. I've hi-jacked an oil thread. That's punishable, isn't it?  :) :)
