All,
While tuning up my P6 (2000 TC 1971) I put the Gunsons Gastester probe up the exhaust (all according to the instructions). My reading was 8% - I think this is high and would be interested in other forum members to pitch in with their values - if they've done the test.
I understand that the MOT requires 4.5% for cars built post 1975 (and a visual only prior to this) but I don't know if Rover made any emission modifications prior to '75
I believe that I'm tuned correctly, as I used both the colourtune and the carb lifting pin to confirm the correct mixture. My timing is correct at 6deg BTDC (running leaded fuel)
My carbs/dizzy have all been overhauled in the last few years, she's been reshimmed and I have good compression on all cylinders (>190psi)
BTW - I have the HS8 carbies
Cheers,
Bri.
