here are the numbers:

CO (%)

readings 3.39 2.48

limit 1.20 1.20

result FAIL FAIL


CO (%) + CO2 (%)

readings7.49 13.24


RPM reading

readings 935 2580

limit 500 2200

The alignments of the table is somewhat screwed up but it failed CO
emission at low and at high RPMs (935 and 2580). What would be the reason?
