That's a good question! I did my research online. There's some good DCOE guides out there. Unless they have been serviced recently, I'd get a service kit for each and work through it.

One of the best ways to waste fuel is for the thermostat to stay open.

This has progressively got worse; before it only happened after I put my foot down hard. Has anybody experienced a similar problem? My carbs run well; ggod performance just not so good on fuel consumption! I dont visibly see any gaskets leaking, is there possibly a blockage somewhere? Are there any know issues with this combo?

Are the float valves and level set correctly? They can run horribly if these are out as the floats not only shut off the fuel, but set the levels fir the main jets too.
