[Messenjah]

hi guys something isnt right with my capri ... its doing 14mpg

 

its a 2.0 pinto with some porting and polishing an fr32 cam vernier pulley and a lightened flywheel and a 38dgas

 

x-pack glyn thought it migh tbe the choke sticking on but it isnt what else is it likely to be ? i was told the carb had been rejetted but i dont think it has but i dont know

 

where could i take it to get it sorted bearing in mind im SKINT lol

lift your foot up a bit mate

does sound like a carb problem... try giving it (and the air filter) a good clean

[Mr Sam]

try stickin the 32/36 back on rembering the 38 opens up both chokes at any revs so could be just throwing the fuel out at low rpm

Had a similar set up on my old (now deceased)mk2 .It was doing similar mpg until i spent about 90 quid to get it set up on the rollers .It then had more power and mpg was in the mid 20,s .

P.S at 14 mpg i,m not surprised you,re skint
