Can i use a wide band to determine if my a/f is just right. i thought about it today while working on my car. In theory it sounds good but since im not as familiar with these little motors i wasn't sure if it would read different or if the a/f itself is different with a 2 stroke? can anyone clear this up before i try it and melt a piston lol.

Much easier to read the jennings articles and tune that way

Yes you can use a wide band, nothing is more accurate or faster, or easier to use to tune ANY engine. Exhaust temp gauges work well also, but ultimately a wide band is the most accurate.
