Here's my theory FWIW;  the thinking behind the activation of the full
throttle switch means you have "floor-boarded it" i.e. you need all she's
got plus some. Looking at the O2 sensor monitor gadget (
http://neksiwel.20m.com/photo5.html ) on my dash the FI system has stopped
toggling the mixture rich-lean-rich-lean and is now pegged in the rich area.
How much richer I do not know.
