Re: What's your mileage?

WOW! Must be an ungodly amount of black smoke coming out of the pipe to get that! I'd check for needle and seat issues (maybe excessive fuel pressure) and potentially plugged air bleeds, and also insure that the choke isn't stuck closed. I agree that when running well you should see something like 17MPG with a half ton like that.
