has anybody running the 32/36 webber carby had a emmissions test done?

i did mine at tafe today and it was shocking...

HC 3312 ppm - unburnt fuel, should be 100- 150 ppm.
CO 0.04 % - very deadly, good
CO2 5.13% - should be 16%
O2 13.02% - should be 3 -6 %
NO 71 ppm - Ok
A/F ratio 28.59 : 1 - should be 14.7 : 1

good thing im getting a new engine very soon

I'm surprised the system even pretended to measure an A/F of 28.59:1........

I think you might find its accuracy is very sus at that sort of reading - there just no way petrol is combustible at that ratio.

It might have been the mass of the unburnt fuel pushing the pistons down ;)







P.S. I hate carbies too.

Yea id also like to know how ya got a reading like that. Must be an ultra wide band o2 sensor or something. Best ive seen from a wide band is 17:1 at atmosphere. Would like to know how accurate the equipment is. Try and run a comparison to a zuk the samish condition to urs but with the standard carb.

sounds like its way out of tune to me too.... mine ran more efficient and smelt far cleaner when i chucked the weber on. It did however ping on 92 ron fuel, so 98 ron in and it purrs beautifully.

i used a proper 5 gas analyser, it samples the gas mixture and can give a little printout. it is very expensive so i took the oppertunity while i had the chance.
i also have a dead miss on #3 cylinder at idle.

Which sounds like it's way lean....


Crackatinny, are you sure the miss isn't because its sooo far beyond rich the spark is getting snuffed out?
