The numbers I posted were idle readings. You idle HC is a little higher,
your idle CO is a bit lower, and you CO2 is right were I guessed it would
be. Overall not a bad guess I would say.
It is possible that with a little bit fatter idle the CO would go up and the
HC would go down, but it is hard to say without being right there playing
with the engine.
