Climbing idle. Running out of ideas. GS550L

[dkon777]

I built one for about 10 bucks in parts.

O yeah? I heard you could build manometers but I wasn't sure how well they worked. Did you have good luck with it? Could you point me in the direction of whatever resource you used to build yours?

dkon, you must first adjust your idle mixture screws, which is what my procedure does. It will stop the lean condition and costs you only time, not money. Then you can get a CarbTune or a MotionPro.

Okay thank you for the response. I have actually read your procedure a few times, but I am going to give it another shot later today. Now that I know it is a lean condition maybe that will help me get them adjusted. Appreciate the help.

I've had perfect results with it. I'll try to make a build thread but here is one that isn't mine:

I used some clear plastic bottles, not the tubing, but it works the same either way. It's also nice to mix some blue food coloring in the water to make it easier to see.

Awesome. Thanks! I'll give it a shot.
