Hi All,
I took my car for an MOT the other day. This was the first time it's been off the drive in over a year, and the first time it's been driven since rebuilding the carburettors. The car seemed to drive really well, and passed the emission part of the test with no problems. Still failed overall, but that's another story.
Anyway, my question is does anyone on here understand the emission printouts? Can I use the values on the form to get an indication of whether I've got everything set up too rich or too lean.
The CO level was 0.11%
The HC level was 147ppm
Both of these are well below values required for the MOT, and also well below Rover's quoted CO level of 4% maximum. Does this mean I've got everything set up to lean? The fuel gauge seemed to drop a quickly as ever, though, and the car starts easily, with minimal choke, so perhaps not.
Cheers,
Tom
