Finally got around to working this out today after nearly 4,000 miles!

I had a good long run in it. From home in North Herts to Chicester, Sussex. Mainly dual carrigeway and motorway averaging about 75 mph.

I filled up before I left and did 155 miles before stopping on the A3 (on the way back) to refill.
I managed to squeaze almost 40 litres in the 2 tanks.

That works out at almost 20 mpg. Wow!!

That means I can do 300 miles between fill ups.

Is that good or what?

Sounds pretty good. Are you running a vacuum advance?

Nice one
It's actually a lawnmower engine!



davefiddes, no vacuum advance.


G man, I gave it a short burst on the A3 when a couple of bikers drew along side and invited me to show them what it could do!
would have been rude not to
