After a week of putting around . Trying to keep the throttle steady and not just pin it all the time. My gas mileage went from 90+/- to a shocking 70 mpg. After thinking about the carb setup. I think the needle is out of the main jet a full throttle. When I close the throttle some. The carb slide will close and cut the amount of air going into the engine, But I bet needle is still just above the jet. SO I am going slow and burning the same amount of fuel. I will see how it goes this week.
