With my long distance heavy weight towing I was doing 2 tanks a day haha

Mine's terrible on fuel but I do have two transfer boxes and 33s, tbh I never really work it out but I'm pretty sure it's worse than most

OK, thanks for the reply's guys. when i fill it its about £40 to fill so i would say its a standard tank. ill look into the needle and the spring in the carb. Am i right saying it should have a BFM needle and yellow spring? what's the best place to get a rebuild kit from?

Burlen Fuel systems are the definitive place to go for SU carbs

BFM and yellow needle will be fine

just serviced the carb and put the yellow spring in with the BFM needle. the needle i took out was a BCE and the spring was thin and long. going to put it back on later

Both the SU carbs Ive had came with a really long thin spring... not sure which ones they were but they definitely werent yellow ones!

No idea what spring and needle mine has fitted. Came off a 1.6 Austin / Rover engine so should be somewhere near right. Doesn't use masses of fuel when compared to others. Goes quite well.

tuning the carb: am i right that clockwise is richer and anti clockwise is leaner?
