      interesting details .... a compendium of tuning tips! lots of stuff I didn't know (but that's easy) Tuning per Relative Air density ...? wow.
      Thanks for the link!

        Well, if you check closely, you'll see it's about 2 strokes

        Interesting stuff for reference

          It is also about a different carb design, but some of the principles, such as stoichiometric tuning (using a wideband i.e. a sniffer), EGTs and RAD are applicable across the board.
          The other stuff, not so much.

            yes, I saw that "two stroke", but it looks to be a bunch of stuff from different sources. ...how about that plug diagnosis...per side electrode?

            this'd be a poor man's Colour-tune if it is true.

              Haven't heard that one for a four stroke.
