open paintbox and just paste it in as a new image, then select the table with the box selection tool, copy, new image (say no to save), paste, then save as a Jpeg file (you have a list of saveable formats), dead easy

i wish you could just download MS knowledge, there is so much im getting confused on where to start. i have the car up and running and the carbs are balanced to a reasonable equality but im still running rich at about 12:1 and my timing says that its sparking about 19 btdc, any advise is welcome.



this is the basic table we have running but i know that figure are way too high, what should they be or in waht region should they be in.

green? I don't know what is it??

dont the blue ones mean that they dont need adjustment, the green ones are too rich and the red ones are too lean?

There's your first problem. If you're using carbs, you don't need Megasquirt!

No, the colours don't really mean anything. The highest value in the table is red, the lowest blue, and the rest coloured depending on where they fit in between. It's just to make it a wee bit easier to see the 'shape' of the map.

You'd be better off looking at using alpha-n rather than speed density control (alpha-n is where the ECU uses the throttle position as the primary load input rather than manifold pressure). Getting speed-density to run well is an utter sod with bike throttles even when you know what you're doing.

so whats involved in turning from speed desity to alpha N.
