Mass Air Fuel Ratio (AFR, A/F)
A ratio indicates proportions.
proportions
Stoichiometric (16.09 for NG).
Best Power: Max load/ response (15.5:1).
Equal NOx/CO: 15.9:1
Catalyst: Peak efficiency (15.95:1).
Best Economy: Max fuel efficiency (17-18:1).
Lean Burn (24.5-32:1; better emissions & fuel
economy compared to stoichiometric AFRs).

Troubleshooting
Hard Starting
With engine at rest, PSG
governor is at no fuel
position (inlines).
Butterfly must be
adjusted to specification
(typically 1 - 1 1/2 screw
turns open).
Hard Starting
Valve stem may
gaul in bushing.
Use J Type,

Precious Metal
Plugs
Corrosion from Sulfur
