Hey guys, look what I got....

primarily for adjusting the carburettors of my bikes, but definitely going to try measuring the exhaust gas quality of our toy engines.
Not because it is somehow better, but because I would like to LEARN... which numbers make an engine run good, and which don't. What range of mixtures actually are "acceptable", what effect results from which modification, etc etc.

Most important of course: WOULD such a device be "usable" or not?
Remember folks, we're testing this so you won't have to

Haven't even unpacked the thing yet, but here's what I think: Most likely it will be pretty difficult to get consistent readings, and most likely an adapter of sorts will be necessary in order to get reliable and repeatable numbers.

But hey, I won't know unless I try, right?

It can take a while before I'll get around to it, but will keep you guys posted as soon as I have any data.

Edit: on the trusty old Ducati, it seems to work fairly decent and repeatable.
