well i have alot of engine work and bolt on's so i couldn't get the carb where i needed it , so i made this O2 sensor/gauge for under $84 . some sell for $200+ in stores. it might look like a hard project but its easier than a clutch kit to put on . this kit is also removable and is only for tuning the carb, and it can be put on any car or bike with a weld-on O2 bung and a hole in the exhaust pipe. After tuning is done a brass plug is put in the O2 bung.

with this kit you dont even need a gauge, a volt meter will work but is hard to read at speed but still works fine. the o2 sensor sends a signal of 0volts - 1volts DC . 0v = lean .5v = perfect 1v = rich .

Cool Idea.

I don't know much about EFI on ATV's motorcycles or snowmobiles. Do they use a feed back system like this? Would it be possible to retro fit EFI onto an older ATV?

i think you can put a efi system on .but finding a single cylinder efi system cheap would be hard . so i just stuck to the carb.

ive never owned or work on a efi atv but u do need some feedback.
