53 Flathead MPG
 

Still just playing with my 53 Flathead..Currently I am using a 1 quart jug for a temporary gas tank. From start to warm up it uses all the gas from that quart jug. Seems excessive to me. Doesn't smell like it is running very rich. Do you think it is using excessive fuel? I don't smell gas on the dipstick..I am not driving the car, just in the driveway..Thoughts? Thanks..Tommy..

X2 what Jack said....my test motor is operated like your driveway test procedure, much
fuel gobbled up.
