I have abotu a 15 gal. tank. When I go to fill up after about 160 miles, I pump about 13 gal.! Thats horrible!
I used to get upwards to 300 miles before I had to fill up. I thought it was my carb, but when I filled up again, the numbers did'nt add up. There has to be something else...
My engine is less than 10k miles on it since its a rebuild. Almost everything has been replaced on the engine, except exhaust, dist., and coil.
Thats why I thought it may be my cats. I took it in to an exhaust guy for a repair, and we checked the cats. They did'nt show anything on the outside to indicate their faulty. But it may have changed now since it was in the summertime.
I have all season tires on now that are bigger than the ones in the pic. But that do'nt necessarily matter. Its the proper inflation, really. And yes I keep them properly inflated.
When I warm the choke up, the butterflies open like they should, but a buddy said they are supposed to be striaght up and down, but they have a slight slant. Dunno if that affects anything?
No, my truck does'nt smoke at all! If I'm not mistaken the PCV valve directs the blowby gases to be burnt off but I actually 'am mistaken it with the emissions hoses from the exhaust.
I'm not sure to as to what it may sound funny as. I notice that the weber sounds alot diff. though, lol. I have great accel. and no hesitation or anything... Who knows... I thought idling uses more gas than running?
