I've fitted a wide band lamda sensor in the exhaust & have a full time air/fuel ratio meter in the dash. It gives continuos reading on mixture under real driving conditions. Ideal for setting carb up correctly. Maybe over the top for a standard car though. Hi Bigbob, Thanks for your reply. And yes....

Hi Peter, If you have the gear, I would then aim for the lowest attainable C02 reading that you can get while still being road useable. From what I understand, if you are getting good fuel burn your C02 reading should be at it's lowest. I would just have a bit of a play and report back. Regards, Ro...

Hi Peter, I may be way off here, but wouldn't the amount of C02 produced be determined by the tune of the carburettor? You may be better to dyno tune your car to find a nice balance. That way you could see what air/fuel ratio you have across the whole rev range and make any adjustments then. Regard...

In order to get the perfect air/fuel ratio I should like to adust the carburettor of my Tiger with the aid of a gas analyser. I know that in the sixties gas analyser were not used to adjust carburettors, so obviously there is not mentioned an ideal CO2 percentage in the Tiger workshop manual. But pe...

That's an interesting possibility! Thanks Michael, no one knows everything.
This forum is very helpful in understanding the Tiger.

Okay, I promised to come back at this subject. What I found is this: The differences have a connection with the subject "lamps". The headlamps for instance differ, the LRX-cars have sealed beam head lamps which the LRO-cars don't have. Second: both the front and rear flasher lenses differ. The LRX-c...

They are two or three differences and right now I remember only one of them which is: LRX-cars have a red colour regarding the rear traffic light ( the light which shows that the car is turning right or left) while LRO-cars have an amber colour. I will check out the other difference(s) when I have f...

In the meantime I have compared the size of the small Renault oil filter with the size of the oil filter which I use together with the adapter M-6880-A50. Right now I am using a oil filter from Mann, type W940/81. In stock I have both the small Renault oil filter (Fram PH 2874) and the oil filter fr...

In spite of the experiences of other Tiger owners, I did not had to modify the engine mounts. If I remember correctly the case was that one engine mount needed to be rounded of a little bit. But in my case the adapter went on without any modification. I don't know what the impact is of having header...

An option is using the Ford oil filter adapter M-6880-A50. With this adapter it is possible to use a bigger oil filter than the Renault filter. I have installed this adapter on my Tiger while I had the Renault option before. Fram as well as Mann are providing the suitable oil filters. Another possib...
