Adjusting the throttle for max vacuum at a certain speed automatically gives you the best fuel mileage. Often times, on my boat, just a very slight adjustment to the throttle raises the vacuum 1-2". Very accurate and sensitive. JR -------------------------------------------------------------- Home Page: http://www.seanet.com/~jasonrnorth No. But, I got over eight million hits when I tried vacuum gauge. I was hoping maybe you could narrow it down some. But, that's OK. I paid under $100 for what has proven to be an accurate and reliable gas flow meter. That's not expensive. I'm trying to figure out where to mount my flow meter. There's no room on the dash. I'm thinking of putting it right above the engine cover on the inside of the transom. Any ideas? |
