I only have 670 miles on it so far. My fuel consumption seems exceptionally high. I have just checked on one fill up, and need to repeat to be more certain, but on the last tank I got an awful 10.1 miles to the Imperial Gallon (14.8 miles/US gal). I used to get about double that.<br><br>I have checked the tune on the carbs using the usual method and checked it with a quick plug check (I have yet to do a proper plug chop), and if anything I think I am running a bit on the lean side. The exhaust seems good, just rich when the choke is on, however the engine does “hunt” a little when at idle. It runs beautifully otherwise. No fuel leaks at all.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>My questions: 1) what are others getting for fuel consumption? And 2) any thoughts on how to improve it?<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Thank all - Mirek<o:p></o:p></p></div></body></html>
