Tankless Combustion testing

in THE MAIN WALL
My customer was complaining of a bad smell out near the flue so I set up the analyzer. It all seems ok but the O2 seems a little lean on low fire at 12% This is the first tankless I have ever tested (always boilers and forced air) does this look normal to you guys? Eff seems about right, nox seems nice and low as with CO. Any Ideas? results and unit spec attached

    Firing lean

    The heater looks extremely underfired in low-fire, and high-fire slightly. Any time O2 is above 9% efficiency is not what the analyzer calculates. Closer to 45%-50% in low fire and 65%-68% in high-fire. Most the ones I sold in the past ran close to 6%-7% in high-fire.
