Re: fuel inrichment probs

Think I'll chime in and share me fuel enrichment
adventures :).  Anyway, I ended up using a solid
state relay (looks like a big transistor) and 1/2
watt resistor, also make sure you use at least 10
gauge wire for the leads going to the sensor, any
less than that and the wires internal resistance
will effect the sensors reading.  Have had no problems
for the past, wow, past year it has been in there :D
