So how in the heck are you supposed to have any idea what you are doing to
the air:fuel mixture when tweeking the AFM if you are not analyzing the
exhaust gases right away?  I have been to 5 different shops this morning
trying to find someone to measure the CO and HC in my exhaust on my 82 air
cooled Westy so that I can set the AFM (I think I am running rich).  Nobody
wants to touch it.  I have the Federal model motor so no oxygen sensor to
use as a guide.

Thanks,
Jake

I noticed the same thing over the weekend!  Whenever I "stabilized" it at
idle with a short screw driver, the idle would settle down.  Made me wonder
if it supposed to dance around like that.

  Over this last weekend, I did some smog adjustments. One of those was
tweeking the AFM. For those of you who have experience with the AFM,
should the wiper be moving (jitter or oscillation) of about 1/8 to 3/16
of an inch at idle or should the wiper be pretty stable?
