I tried an 800 and it didn't do any different in the MPG department, I think there is a point where atomization only gets so good and the primaries on the 850 are reasonably small. Mabey if I was only concerned with MPG at 50 MPH the smaller one would have showed very small gains but most of my testing was just real world driving in town and on the highway at 70-75 mph. I may be doing another one soon and it will turn less RPM so the smaller carb might show some small improvement.


I am not causing global warming, I am just trying to hold off a impending Ice Age!

Has anyone on here used a A/F meter when tuning a t-quad, i think this winter i may install my modified stock intake and play around with my 71 t-quads but right off the bat i want to install a A/F meter seems like it would make life easier with the jets, rods, float, sec air door gap, sec air door spring adjustment etc..etc..etc..

Only since the early 90's!

O2 sensor and gauges takes a lot of guesswork out of tuning and the gauges are certainly cheaper than 20 years ago.

Some folks will state you need a wide-band sensor for proper tuning, this just isn't so unless you are on the ragged edge at WOT in my honest opinion.

I have tuned engines running 30 psi on gas with narrow band factory sensors without fail, now that can get hairy fast if you screw up.
