I have a gas tester which reads CO levels, to set up my cars. Normally set the petrol ones to 1.8-2% CO for best performance.
Is there any way I can use this to set up my saw? Obviously the level would vary with mix, etc., but I fancy the idea of being able to set up the saw using a proper meter, without worrying about listening for four-stroking, etc.
Maybe, get it set up by the (very knowledgeable about old saws) dealer running my usual mix, explain that I want it totally perfect, slip him a couple of notes to spend a bit of time doing it, then measure the levels at idle and WOT as something to aim for?
It's only an old 041, but I like to have all my engines running bang on where they should be. I'm a bit obsessive like that... was going to say "anal", but I know I'd get the piss ripped out of me. Ah well, I've said it now...
