Want my advice. DONT get hung up on numbers on a gauge. Pay attention to what the car is telling you about what it wants. Then look at the gauge to get a good baseline. There is NO perfect AFR that fits all cars and situations.
I agree, dont worry about what the idle #'s are, every engine is different.
I agree also,,,,to a point, I think afr meters are like dyno's just a tool to get you close and set a baseline, then you can tweek from there, then you can tell what the car want's or don't want,, if you loose your way then you can go back to your baseline setting as long as you write all your info down, I did this to the carb I just built and have every thing in a notebook, now it's time to go out and see what the meter has to say and make my baseline from there,
then start tweeking from that point.
p.s.with the afr meter I found what I thought was a good running carb ended up being a slow pathetic pig and realized that somewhere along the way I had lost sight of what the car wanted.
