O2 Sensor on a Carb Engine Question
Yeah yeah, I've heard that before;
I think you completely missed the point,
We had nearly a hundred years of carbs and never an AFR to tune them, the guy doing the tuning was the AFR man.
Besides
The statement you are concerned about was the lead-in to the fat-lady joke.
If I have to explain everything, there are not enough hours in the day.
Whatever makes you feel better but you’ll never convince me that more data is bad. I mean, that’s an ignorant statement.
You don’t have to live and die by it, but it’s best virtue is it cuts my tuning time by half or more.
So not knowing what the AFR is and not using an O2 meter you lose knowledge and waste time.
I don’t care what you say or don’t say to your wife, but I appreciate humor for sure.
I totally get where AJ is coming from, and have to agree with him, even though or maybe because I run an afr full time.
I can also totally relate to the fat Wife analogy unfortunately. :D
I sometimes watch a channel called Fort9 about motorcycles.
He had a whole table of riding accessories, from cameras, intercom’s, phone mounts and such.
He wiped it all off on the floor and said “You don’t need any of this ****, just go have fun and don’t ruin your ride screwing with accessories”
I really liked and agreed with that statement.
Same with cars, but I think knowing what you are doing when the car needs something is a big part of enjoying it.
Some of us can tune an engine darn near perfect without the afr, just by ear, feel and plug readings.
Some can’t, or are not confident, or knowledgeable enough to do that.
The fun comes from going for a good blast in a car you can trust and fix anywhere and any time it’s needed with nothing more than your ear and experience.
Point here is that for an afr to do a person one bit of good you need to know what it’s telling you and why.
Seems to me that once that is known, you are already past needing it.
It’s just there for the curiosity of it at that point.
Thoughts?
As a matter of fact it’s overcast here now with a cool breeze and not 100 degrees like they said, and I think I’m going to take a rip up the mountain into pine trees and national forest. :D
It’s perfect all windows down with a toke and good rock and roll driving weather.
And I’m leaving all my cameras and wireles microphones at home.
A nice gentle buzz, the music and the Flowmaster 40’s baby.
