Thanks for the feedback, everyone! Yes, it seems from the feedback that
around 20 is the average mileage on a TR6. People are getting from the
high teens to almost 30 on their beasts.
I have not had mine long enough to know exactly what the problems could
be (only went through 3 tanks of gas so far). It just passed smog - it
was set somewhat lean. I checked the SUs. Okay, the leaks are no good,
so the out leaks out, but I don't think that should be a big deal. Other
than that, they look clean. Air filter is okay. Retuned the carbs so
that when manually letting in more air, it gains RPM rather than losing
it (about 2 turns more rich). I am not sure, since this was recent, but
I don't think it had a major impact on mileage.
Timing is set to 4 degrees past. Have not checked the valves yet.
Car seems to roll rather freely, so I don't think any brake is engaged.
Other symptom - sometimes it misses even after warmed up and at freeway
speeds. I can floor it and still slowly creep past 65, topping out at
70. Other times though, it runs fine. Hmmm. The bad running seems to
be after it's been parked overnight. But it has definitely warmed up (10
miles, 15 minutes from start, still running rough) - and it's in
California, so weather is not an issue.
I cannot see any liquid on the driveway, so I don't think it's leaking
gas. Oil pressure is fine.
Okay, I guess digging into the valves is the next course of action. I am
rather mechanically clueless, so I'm about stumped on what's ailing my
baby...
Thanks again for all the feedback!
