Correction fuel consumtion: per 100 ml is 7 1/2 und 6 1/4 gal.

Hallo, the consumption at 100 miles in city traffic is 4.75 and long-distance overland 4.15.

Note: the fuel bill takes into account that the speedometer / mileage meter records 5% too much.

The main nozzles to buy are probably all too big. I have reamers to adjust the caliber. But I do not know, if I solder the original hole, how deep the pinch hole must be, in order to get the smaller flow with the smaller caliber. This only works if I measure the flow rate of the original nozzle against the manipulated nozzle. I can not do that right yet.
