BTW, no fouled plugs and runs good.
Thanks,

I get about twice that with my 49 FL. And I think that should improve, since the engine is just barely broken in after a rebuild.
I have been told, as a rule of thumb, a Big Twin should get around 50 mpg, or something is wrong.
So your fuel consumption seems excessive. But, as to what is the most likely cause, I think one of the other forum members can probably advise you better.

Thanks Arther, I have upgraded and correctly set my float and fixed an intake leak. I am just waiting till this weekend to test my mileage. I still have my idle spped jet turned out to much(2 1/4 turns) but that may be something else.
Thanks for your input and I agree 60 MP Tank is way to low. What supprises me is I never fowled a plug but man were they black sooty.
