When doing this, the % seems to vary a lot, and getting a good reading is not very easy. If I disconnect the oxs (new BTW), the mixture does not seem to sit at a steady 50% as I would expect.

This kind of sound is usually associated with really low duty cycles - like
10 to 15 %!
Measure the O2 sensor voltage with it disconnected from the ECU and
set the mixture for about 0.5V... then see what the duty cycle is.

What kind of meter?
