So I've been messing around with fuel mileage measurements. The numbers I've gotten so far have been all over the place due to several factors,. One of the main problems was that I was not driving far enough so that any minor difference in filling up would have a significant effect on the outcome. Anyway, I think I have a fairly accurate measurement now that is 14.5 mpg @ 65 mph average speed. That's over a 156 mile distance. That's not as great as I hoped for, but not too bad. After talking with Cliff, this carb may be a little rich on the primaries. I should have the other carb back together soon to Cliff specs with the kit he sent me and we'll see how that does.
