AFR Settings

I'm, going to be setting my carbs up with my AFR meter soon.

What I need to know is what AFR I should be aiming for.

I think at full throttle I should be looking for 12.5-13, but what about cruising and tickover?

Is 14.7 the target when the engine isn't under much load?

Thanks

Don't quote me, but I'm aiming for

12.5 - 13.0 under hard acceleration, wide-open throttle (achieved)

14.7 cruising along at a steady moderate speed (not got that right yet)

16.0 - 18.0 on overrun (achieved)
