may not be the best way but i set my zx6 carbs up with a narrow band sensor and a diy LED indicator of ebay (bit like one in link below), seemed to be close enough to pick up changes in differet jets sizes and mixture readings

narow band LED sensor

I already have a wideband sensor. Does someone knows a cheap source for the electronics, perhaps DIY ?

Do you mean just the sensor or sensor + gauge? The Innovate kit is probably the best value for money and they are available for £140 on eBay IIRC.

DIY I did the JAW wideband and it seems to be OK (and was my kind of price!)

I think trigger wheels were doing his latest design though not sure if they do it in DIY kit form?

Regards
Rob

He no longer does the JAW, he's improved the design and now sells it both assembled and DIY (ish).

You need to go to his website which is ....... www.14point7.com and triggerwheels.co.uk resell one of his solutions in the uk.

If you buy Innovate LC-1 then these guys were the best value when I bought mine.

http://www.maperformance.com/innovate

$189 although there is some postage and import duty.

Thats pretty much illegal isnt it? Ive have 2 items repaired by them under warranty that I have bought from ebay as duffers for pennies. The only thing I can remember being stipulated is that f they couldnt repair then I was not entitled to a refund as I didnt by them direct.
