Hi Rob,

I'm glad it is working for him as he is a good friend and I respect his ability to diagnose on the fly if something were to go wrong at those lean a/f ratios. I doubt that the majority of our owners, including me, could, so I preferred to run both of our coaches richer for the kind of driving we do/did. I will gladly pay a bit more for fuel to avoid having to replace engines.

Larry's findings about a bad canister causing icing on his set up is also interesting for this conversation. Our coaches show so many variations at this ripe young age of 40 that it I find it hard to diagnose much of anything without being hands on. Guess that is why I approached both our GMCs with such conservatism.

Jerry,

Randy Van Winkle gave presentation at the Elkhart GMCMI Convention and noted that he runs his coach with EFI at that range
consistently.
