Greetings Gentlemen
I have seen this & other posts about flow sensors for carbs with the Mpguino ,I have been tesing various devices over the last few months(talking cheap here),the current device I am testing is showing some promise.This sensor (2-30 litres/hour flow rate) is available from Futurlec.com at US$13.00 but needs modding to make it's signal compatable .
So far the results are looking ok , but more mods are needed to the sensor to at least stabilise the readings
I will try to add some photos & better explanation tommorrow.

Regards
Tp
