I have an LM-1 and recommend the purchase.
onefastmustang, I have an LM-1 wide band O2 meter. I purchased the meter and O2 sensor only so I have the minimum "kit". I sometimes wish I had the tach adaptor just to verify my in car tach. Anyway, the LM-1 is a great tool. It comes with usable instructions. It is easy to install and remove. The O2 sensor (Bosch) is available at most auto parts stores should it go bad. The readout on the meter is large enough to be read while driving without serious driving distraction. In my mind this has been a very good purchase, mostly because I have three carbed vehicles to tune. I know a fair amount about carb tuning, but the LM-1 has proven much of what has been theory up to this point. You can verify how the vehicle drives, feels, sounds, at precise A/F levels. This has made my seat of the pants tuning MUCH better for other friends who now want my ability to tune a carb better than they can. The added plus comes from getting the carb, and timing, just right and proving it. I'll bet your carb is running just fine, but after you tune with an LM-1 you may be suprised how much better it runs when tuned just right. The LM-1 costs about as much as one chassis dyno session at a shop with an operator who actually knows how to tune (rare to find) If you are able to learn how to tune with the LM-1 you will soon be happy at the purchase.
