Re: Really bad milage
I adjusted the idle mixture but that was as far as I got... I was driving the VW squareback that I finished for my daughter and the motor lost the rear mian seal right when I got on the freeway. The only way you know something not right is when the clutch starts slipping. So I had to put the truck on hold until I finish rebuilding the motor. Should be finished with it in two more weeks. Whohoo going from 60hp to about 90!!! Then comes some serious truck time. I still haven't fixed transmission yoke seal on it yet either. So 1st thing is the seal/yoke and then the carb, timing, vac advance, and engine pan leaks. I hope to get back to at least 10 mpg maybe 12 if I'm real lucky
