    Hi folks, me again. Sorry to post this here but the CV Stage 1 Tuning Kit link ain't working....

    Any hoo, got the carb back on with the CV Kit installed and fired it up. Runs a treat :D but I want to get the mixture just right. (got a 2001 883 Sportster). At the back of my garage I dusted off my exhaust gas analyser CO% machine I used when I used to restore classic cars way back I my yoof. It registers from zero up to 8% CO. Does anyone know what reading I should expect if I use this? Can I use it!??? It's for four stroke petrol engines so I guess it should work. As the bike doesn't have a tacho its very difficult to get things just right and whilst the 2 1/8 turn setting seems OK it does occasionaly cough on the over run. Any Suggestion? :cool:
    Cheers,
