Re: Working Man's Burbon
After 631 miles and 56.49 gallons of gas the new carb is getting 11.7 miles per gallon around town. Which is .2 mpg gallon better than the old carburetor! WHOO HOOO!
I haven't had an opportunity to do a longer highway trip to get those numbers. The inside of tail pipe is cleaner (less sooty) than it was, which I am pretty sure was from the old carburetor's choke issues. It was very slow to fully open and it was erratic as to how much choke the choke plate would close on any given day. Now that I have a reasonable base line I can start doing some more tuning and hopefully gain some mileage and performance too.
