http://www.mamotorworks.com/acvw-1-30-6778.html I am not sure if i am clear on how 4 clinder readings. On the corner of the box it says for 4 clylinder double the 8 cylinder scale? I am reading 6 cylinder scale to adjust the idle but seems like i am wrong? So it means read 8 cylinder and double the scale to read the 4 cylinder?

If you want 1000rpm idle, set it to the 8-cylinder's 500rpm... etc.

Shocked I was using 6 cylinder scale the whole time... that explains the terrible gas mileage Laughing
