Hi Coby,
    I to wish for a CO exhaust = tester but cannot justify  the cost of one.  I have found that if you = adjust the afm (air flow meter) main spring tension so the disconnected O2 = sensor reads  0.55 - 0.60 volts with the engine running at 3k rpm then = adjust the idle bypass screw for the same voltage at idle all seems to work well = and functions good. 
    The Bosch L-Jetronic  system = with or without O2 work well with the above procedure also.  Of course on L-Jetronic without you must install an O2  to get your = readings. A heated O2 will work well even in the tail pipe.

Note. Always mark the gear on the afm main spring so = you can return to the original tension if needed.
