Subject:Oxygen sensor and fuel reg. replacement....
From:A. Hurley

I just replaced my fuel regulator on the advice of my mechanic, and am
about to replace the O2 sensor - the O2 sensor needs the sheath to be
heated and sealed; how important is this and how can the average home
mechanic like me do this - like with a lighter?

I also need to get the engine hooked up on the machine to  check the fuel
mixture  - it should be running much leaner now. The nearest volks
mechanic that has one of  those machines is an hour away (from Port
Townsend). Does everyone agree that that's the best way to adjust the
air/fuel mixture or can it be done "by feel".

Thanks!
