sweet rebuilt engine - poorer mileage than B18 120-130

Matt;

I'd be happy with that performance too (15/20 - 20/25)...checking the mixture at an emissions test station is only going to help if they have a dyne and can load the engine at speed while sniffing the exhaust...that's where Danny needs to see how the mixture is...and imho that's also the case with the colortune...without a dyne, it's just a toy which to check (for me the semi uninteresting condition of) idle...

Danny;

Have you tried driving in midrange and/or highway for a while, shutting down and pulling and checking the condition/color of spark-plugs...if you don't have access to a dyne, that's the next best thing...

I'll post metering needle data for KD, KX, ZH for reference shortly...are there any other needles that were used or that you need data for?

Good Luck, and please post your findings
