ok so if its petrol u would tune it around 12:1 for power and 17:1 for economy..

what about LPG?

they are two completely different fuels, im thinking u can go heaps richer than pet but not really sure....ive had it as lean as 20:1 it still runs but the power loss is very noticeable....unsure of how rich I can go for max power

I did read somewhere recently that 16:1 is the recommended A/F ratio for lean cruise. Anything leaner than that is considered to be putting your engine at risk from overheating. Don't want to melt those pistons.
