Having gotten a closer look at all these cheap and tiny computers, I'm starting to think the "fill a little cup, let it empty into the carburetors, and fill it again, and count how many times you've filled it" approach is really viable, accurate at low flows (just not instantaneous), and possibly cheap, especially if you repurpose (drill out) an injector from the boneyard or other common fuel valve/solenoid. |

That's why it is so important to be able to see the actually cal. number so it can be tweaked after each tank full without going through the whole cal. process. just tweak the cal number and watch the calculated MPG change until it matches the odometer divided by the pump gals. MPG.
MAF has air temp inside. A MAF is actually has an electronic circuit inside. Output is pounds of air.
"fill a little cup, let it empty into the carburetors, and fill it again, and count how many times you've filled it"
this the way the rain gages work.
It would be possible to have a fixed jet at constant pressure fill up a float bowl with a micro switch on the float and the bowl outlet goes to the regular fuel pump or gravity to the bike carb. (light goes on above my head) Count the total time the float value is filling the bowl.
