CO emissions

Recommended Posts

I've just put my '81 2286 petrol through its Commercial Roadworthiness test (first time in 8 years).

It passed with no problems, however I was amazed that the CO (carbon monoxide, I think) was only 0.44%. My cheepo gunson gastester gave me a reading of 2.5%.

I thought that carburettored vehicles couldn't run that low! And, no, it doesn't have a CAT.

The HC (Hydrocarbons) count was 296 and the lamda (???) was 1.

I reckon the emissions machine at the test center was broken/miscallibrated, apparently they seldom get petrol commercial vehicles.

What should the CO be on a well tuned 2286, does anyone know?
