TOO LEAN OR NOT TOO LEAN??
JUST a quick question i always worrie about running the engine too lean (3.3) at the moment i can see not a lot of smoke under acceleration
but if i put my hand over the exhaust the is unburnt fuel and it dosent feel as powerful as it should
there is no hesitation or lack of power
will i get hesitation b4 there is no smoke of after
JUST CONFUSED HELP?
