Good information, Frank.

Tyre psi is correct for beaded edge tyres. I used to put between 70 and 80 psi into them.

Yes, the T has a slow revving engine. Fit aluminium pistons and that makes quite a difference and the crankshaft handles the extra rpm o.k. OHV kit boosts power and rpm even further so 3,000 is quite possible.

I agree with the lower mpg. I managed a max of close to 25, but that was a long run on level roads. I usually planned on 10 to 15 mpg, remembering that the tank holds only 8 imperial gallons ( 10 us), so would fill up, or at least top off after about 70 miles, just to be sure.
