running rich/lean

[hella 325]

With no acsess to tools or a gauge what are some signs that you are running rich or lean?

rich= no power +black soot
lean = lean/miss fires


only in drastic cases...if you don;t have the tools don;t do the work. take it to the shop.

i do, just not wth me...Il be back with my tools this weeked ill pull the plugs and check. i just didnt know if there was a quick easy way to tell... thanks

Just hook up a volt meter to the o2 sensor. low voltage means lean, high voltage means rich. This would be on a scale of about .1 - .9 volts so 14.7:1 A/F ratio should be around .45 volts.

If you don't have ANY tools then why are you asking, nothing you can do about it anyway. I didn't plan on you doing this now since I can read. Thought it might help you when you get back instead of pulling the plugs.

Sorry I won't ever waste your time by offering any help again.
