Re: Adjustment Question

[Kevin <aventari@cts.com>]

If you have a dwell meter, you can adjust it almost perfectly(you bentley

take it to a shop and ask if they can hook you up the exhaust gas analyzer
and let you tune your mixture real quick. Most shops usually let me do this
for free if they're slow, otherwise it'll be like 20 bucks.
