Default Re: fuel consumption idleing?

How about an experiment? With the carb full of gas, shut off the fuel and drain the carb and measure the volume it holds. I assume this will include the short section of fuel line between the shutoff and the carb. Now with the engine idling, shut off the fuel valve and time how long it takes before the engine stalls. Divide the measured volume by time and you can calculate gallons per hour.
