Hi
I have an interesting question for You. I have an early kit car 3 wheeler made from a citroen 2cv. as she predates obd2 by some
40 years she is purely analogue'.however I saw that putting a voltmeter across an o2 lambada sensor it will produce a reading
in volts (millivolts). I have fitted My twin exhaust system with 2 o2 sensors,one on each side and I can use the readings to
balance the mixture between my twin carburetors. But I don't know what voltage reading an o2 sensor should be for correct fuel/air mixture, so please can You help with what this reading should be?
I love watching Your Utube channel, and I have learnt so much just by watching You work.
Kind Regards

You're largely wasting your time with narrowband sensors as they only really give an indication of rich/lean vs stioch. That said, stioch should be in and around 0.5-0.6v, with richer being higher. But as it is so non linear, it will be difficult to use for the purpose you want.
Plus if it's only idle, they would need to be heated sensors to be usable.
If you want decent mixture data, just buy a wideband kit, ideally one per bank if the engine has more than one bank of cylinders and independent exhausts ( or fit the sensors prior to any exhaust merge )
