Good question.
That is a point that I was going to bring up that doesn't appear in
that nice article. The piston spring rate can change needle position to
allow the spring to rise at different rates allowing for very different
fuel mixtures at different "stations"
Now, if we could only know where the piston is during different times...
Perhaps a device that measures and records piston movement and
correlates it to the testing computer...
