Darn. Geza, I hate it when it is demonstrated to me -- yet again -- that I am a moron. I SWEAR that I emailed Ken Lewis about his monitor to confirm that if it is mounted with the pcb above the display, that left = rich. On a stack of Bibles, Qurans, Torahs, Sutras and any other holy text you care to produce I would swear that he confirmed this. I have sifted through all my emails and can't find his response, though, so that's just hearsay and inadmissible. But, on his website, plain as day is the statement, "I mounted it upside down i.e. solder side up so the dot representing a lean mixture is to the left and rich is to the right. Lefty leanie, righty richie. So my fuel is being cut off on downgrades with foot off pedal and engine speed above 1500 (or so) rpm, just as promised. I have yet again wasted my time and the valuable attention of the listees while chasing down the wrong rabbit hole in search of the reason for my 15 to 16 mpg fuel "economy." Drat. I owe everyone an apology. -- Mike "Rocket J Squirrel" Elliott 71 Type 2: the Wonderbus 84 Westfalia: Mellow Yellow ("The Electrical Banana") 74 Utility Trailer.
