Runs GREAT, horrible gas mileage

[Dan Filetti]

Will give it the college try!  Have been trying to make a rally since the second one that eventually became known as the "East Coast" rally...

Fair enough, the WCR is closer I think than the the ECR for you. We have Thermite and Potato Cannons and a few Aussies that attend. What is the east coast offering??? Perhaps a drum and some complicated fire starter called a dragon??? 

We have 4 Dans, 2 Nancys and a Dragon...

I think we had Potato Cannons first... and a couple of trebuchets.

We lost the Aussie, but picked up a few Rally dogs.            

And we have the drum.   

And great roads.  And sometimes redcap.   

And no fear of dropping off into the ocean due to a massive earthquake.  No fear of state-wide bankruptcy, and way fewer pretentious people.

Two things all y'all have on the left coast...you have all the fruits and nuts

Winner.   

Closest the EC rallies got to that was when Keith C. brought his taps and kegs of award-winning homebrew, and james earthdrum brought a case or two of mead, and we also had a gallon or two of redcap.

Yea, yea, we hear that shit all the time... Earthquakes, Socialist state government, fiscal irresponsibility, fruits and nuts....all that..... But the fundamental fact remains...

Had Columbus turned left and sailed around the Cape and landed in San Diego bay, instead of Plymouth Rock, today in the 21st century, there would still be vast regions of the east coast vacant and unexplored....
Because who the fuck would want to move back there?

A little chilly today, only got up to 60* but at least the sun was out.....

That's a great view Pat      10 degees presently and snow heading to 5 degrees... Enjoy your 60......

Well, I got to ride my bike again Tuesday. I must correct the RPM's that I reported earlier in this post. At 55mph I am running 3800rpm. FYI - the clutch is not slipping.

And you stand a good chance that your speedometer is 3-5 mph off actual.

Howdy,

I have not followed this tread closely so perhaps the following has already been addressed. 

My mileage had dropped into the 36 mpg range.  I spoke with Randy and he suggested that the emulsion tubes may have worn.  Holding the tubes up to the light, sure enough they were no longer round but elliptical in shape. 

After replacing the tubes my mileage has returned to normal levels. Usually about 42 mpg regardless of how I ride - I did have a wind aided freeway cruise in the 70 to low 70 mph range of 47 mpg. 

There is a needle specific to RPM that I may eventually try to see if fine tuning the mileage/performance is possible but I wanted replace only the emulsion tubes first to see if that was actually the problem.  If & when I install the new needles I will certainly post the results.

Ride safe,

Mike Ramos.

Are you talking about the adjustable needles ? I think a few people when they "rebuild" there carbs don't even take those emulsion tubes out. They do get elongated over time I think because of the needle bouncing in them. I replaced mine during the rebuild a few years ago. They also get crap in behind the emulsion tube tending to plug the small holes in the side of the tube. I put new adjustable needles at that time. I am at 3000 feet and the needles are in the mid notch but I think that I am still rich by looking at plug reading that's at 1/4 to 1/2 throttle doing a chop at 4000 rpm.

I haven't had time to look into it to hard but its one of those things that needs to be adjusted when the weather gets good enough to ride it for more than around the block.
