142 mpg.

Finally got it running right, installed the missing air filter cover (got it today with a new air filter). That created just enough restriction to make it pull smoothly in mid power ranges instead of surging pretty bad.

Did a 5 mile ride around the neighborhood and used 4.5 ounces of fuel including some idling, talking to a neighbor.

142 MPG, I'll take some more readings before starting a fuel log.

happy, happy old mechanic.
