Only while the DIAG is plugged in......so not really. When I say it leans out, doesnt mean its a problem.........For pleasure boating and what your type or racing is, its fine, even beneficial, since you wont need to carry as much fuel to finish a race.

Thanks Again for the info ,wouldnt want to pop an engine , bad enough we keep sheering prop shafts off

You think its lean?

Dont pull the air temp sensor off chuck it in the back seat and see if it runs better, I have no idea who would try such a thing

cooler air means richer mix? cooler air in the back seat than inside the cowl ? i guess , anyone put the air sensor in the flow of air to the engine with the airbox removed ? ,fast moving cool air could be even better ?

no if its disconnected it trips a code and goes about 10% rich. I was told to try it with my open mid.

No noise restrictions over here, and I need to drown out quite a few Mercs!

Back to he reeds... Have you gotten to run them yet? let me know how they do,Chris

Hi Chris, received them last week. Have not had a chance to fit and run them yet, but I will report back when I do. Thanks!
