Well it's not working as it should if it doesn't kill the engine.

Have you checked it opens and closes fully with ignition on off.

I know the Colour Tune is not as accurate but at least it indicates when the mixture is in the correct range and therefore great for DIY setting up. I agree the analyser should be used for fine tuning but that's not a DIY tool we can afford!!
I have found that on older engines a slight misfire, air leak or oil burn will wipe out the colour and it just produces an orange flame, which is useless.
A gas analyser is easily available at any good garage.
I use my local motter to faff with the mixture, I just bung him a drink for the time on the machine.
