       I had to look up bsfc.
  HTML http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake_specific_fuel_consumption
       
       Not a term I have seen before. But trying to learn new stuff.
       Thanks for sharing.
       I'm so lost.

       if motor was held on a dyno at a steady XXXX rpm, under load...
       the bsfc at that particular rpm, represents the fuel
       used/necessary to do so.
       the lowest bsfc shown on the actual graph line, is still pig
       rich.  (this is average graph of 30+ motors i had data for.
       some are quite a bit higher, some quite a bit lower of course).
       as motor performance is optimized, a lesser safe bsfc is usually
       shot for on a dyno.
       this graph does not have anything to do with "gas mileage"  (ie.
       cuts per gallon).
       usually a bsfc graph looks like an oyster.  will post one up of
       this type.

       some notes on the photo....
       ......the best "cuts per gallon" is the range of rpms within 300
       circle in the middle....  at 1/2 load, ~4200 rpm.

       forgot to add one more thing.
       the top arc on the graph labled WOT, just means the carby
       throttle butterfly was held wfo for that test line.
       that arc also represents the torque curve of the motor.

       Joe, cool stuff!
       Amazing the fuel use down low and above the torque peak.  I know
       you used some strato motors for the average, any idea what the
       strato motors  bsfc is Compared to traditional piston ports?

       believe the husqvarna site lists numbers there?

       numbers lead to more numbers and eventually lead into a model of
       something like this.  (just a toy right now).
       old 066.
