Re: Lambda sensor removal...

["content22207" <brobertson@xxxx>]

Can't speak directly to Lamda because I don't have it, but I'm
wondering why frequency valve itself can't be removed from fuel loop.
Would cap lower chamber with a bolt and run upper chamber directly to
return line under pontoon. Is not permanent mod, so what could it hurt
to try? Fuel mixture would probably have to be adjusted (leaned?) to
compensate for inactive lower chamber.

Did anyone ever measure size of O2 probe vs overall size of Y pipe?
Seem to remember it restricts A LOT. 

Re: crazy idle -- is engine choking itself then rev'ing back up?
(possible vacuum leak). Does it stumble in middle of otherwise smooth
idle? (misfire, probably ignition spark). Is idle consistently smooth
but varying RPM's? (problem with automatic idle system?). What exactly
are symptoms?
