Resurecting this old chestnut, the heavy unseasonal rains have finally abated, and 'good ol' pamps' is back on thr road. First tank was old gas (8 months old) so didn't worry and got 22.5mpg, next tank of fresh, getting used to the way the bus rolls etc, its 26.5mpg, I know I can do better aiming for 30mpg. The engine has tinw Solex carbs, its well in emmisions etc and runs sweet, but the carbs have an accelertor pump on each carb, so when you pump down it squirts more in. Now my question is one of acceleration, With my landrover the Bspc thing said to accel, hard up to 18oo-2000rpm because of the deisel turbo, but is this the same for a twin carb aircooled,coz thats a lot of gas being sqirted in each time. Or am I better with moderate accel. Anyone know of a Bspc graph thing for a carb 2000cc VW aircooled.
