hey gents, lets talk fuel mileage. im about to tear into my carbs but i wanted to see if anyone could offer insight on anything else it could be; my 350f purrs like a kitten, but sucks gas like nothing ive ever seen. im talking 50 miles to a tank!!!! top end is freshly rebuilt, timing is dead on, coils are new. plugs are new. valves are adjusted properly and my local machine shop did a resurface and valve job last winter. im running pod filters and rejetted the carbs to accompany the pods, but i really dont think that should be affecting my fuel consumption so much. im thinking ive got a loose jet somewhere or the floats are way off, even though i checked and double checked them in the beginning of spring. i pulled all the plugs and all showed wet thick carbon deposits, same with the piston heads. if i cant find anything wrong im gonna drop a few jet sizes and see if it helps. any other ideas? thanks guys. cheers.
