Dear listers,
Finally managed to get the Webers tuned and a long journey under my belt
to see how they performed!
Well they ran smooth under all conditions (5 hours on a rolling road payed
off!) and showed no sign of fuel vaporisations even after hacking along at
80 mph and then having to queue in traffic for 30 mins!
But the biggest revelation was the efficiency!
36 mpg (at motorway speeds 60mph-80mph), way better than what had been
predicted by most (<20mpg).
just shows, a well set up pair of webers is a usable system
Cheers
Tim
