Nice work changing over to the Fed computer!

Run three tanks using Marvel Mystery Oil (MMO) in your fuel and I predict you'll say there IS reliable lean burn well below 65 mph. It can take some time to reach full effect, thus run several tanks, not just one.

Two ounces per 10 gal fuel. First time, use the tank's full 12 gal capacity for your calcs. After that, use a good estimate of the amount of fuel you will put in. Add MMO before adding fuel so it will be mixed well. I've had good results though, just adding it any old time and driving off.

MMO bottle says to use four ounces per ten gallons fuel but my HX is happy with two. Bottle says it can also go in your oil but I only do that a couple times a year or less.
