[gezy]

hi.

been out today for a run .with that bigger prop and new carb on

i did 36 miles on 80 ltrs of fuel :shock: .that cant be right can it?.

i had it say 4000rpm for 10 mins.to test the prop and its better less revs.

the rest of the time @2000rpm 10mph!.

i think thats a lot what do you all think :wink:

Ouch! I generally use the rule of thumb of about 1mpg....

So, that'd be about right for you

How long were you running it for? We generally use about 80 liters in a full day (so about 6-7 hours); no idea how many miles that equates to...

i did.but with low rpm ?. ru flat out all day

I have to ask you..what is your wot??...you should be between 4200-4800rpm..if your not in that range..then...you need to re-prop...what prop do you have on it now??..
