Going to head out to show on long island tomorrow about 30 miles away, so will see how extended driving does without a pv. i suppose the lack of a pv is masking some other issue, but I am inclined to not put it back in but hard to discern if it delivers any power benefit with seat of pants test.
May I ask what your AFR objective is? I don't think your AFR numbers are too bad. Also, Dick can correct me if I'm wrong, but the power piston spring, actuated by vacuum adds fuel at cruise where you have a rich issue. Maybe a spring adjustment?
