It would help if I actually had a choke! The guy who had the car before me took it out for one reason or another... Now I have to do the revving sort of method... Pain in the behind, and wastes a bit of fuel too.

Just think that if you drove at legal speeds you'd expect 40mpg from your engine - a 32/36 is a very economical carbie if setup right, and it's quite normal to use a choke to start with them. There is nothing wrong with having to use a choke especially a manual as at least you can decide when it's OK to turn it off. regards Terry -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of james wade Sent: Sunday, 28 July 2002 1:33 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: fuel consumption I'm running a l16 at the moment... I got 120ks for 8 dollars (maybe 9 litres) on LRP. I have a feeling that the carbie isnt running the petrol too lean cause its a pain in the ass to start cold with no choke. This was driving at 140k down a freeway at full revs... it doesnt sound that good, does it?
