I tried a Colortune on my HS2s, but it always showed a yellow flame, never a
blue, even when I adjusted the jets so lean it would barely run.  I am wondering
how well that gadget really works.

In my case, the Color tune says it's rich, but the plugs always look perfect, or
even a bit too white.  And my gas mileage never gets higher that 25-28 MPG.
Everything else (compression, etc.) looks OK.
