Title: Crap MPG and Lumpy Idle
Post by: Sam on 28 March 2010, 13:20

Gonna go through the isv check-list this afternoon, it does buzz in pos 2 but havent got any further.

Any other ideas kids other than follow that guide?

Ps im getting about 16mpg on steady driving when the norm for me is high 20s and upwards

you got it back then? I'd take it back to the guy who sorted the engine out and get him to do a proper job of setting it up to be honest

not teaching you to suck eggs, but you arent basing that on the MFA? what have you had done to the engine?

Looking at the coralation between the MFA and my wallet  :grin: .

Its going to go back on monday to have a push rod end done anyhow so will tell him where the lil adjuster screws are and let him sort it from there, it hasnt stalled on me but doesnt feel as nice as it used to, even when the big end was shagged
