  • '89 Carb float level

    On a festiva carburetor that is running properly and getting good gas mileage, where should the fuel level be in the sight glass on the side of the carb? I've rebuilt mine and it runs great but the mileage is only about 33, maybe 37 on the highway. My level is exactly in the middle. Trying to perfect things too much probably.

    I don't know the level.

    Do you have the 4speed or the 5speed I only can manage about 36mpg in the 4 speed @ 60-65mph highway.

      It's a 5 speed, and I'm probably already doing about as well as it"s able to, but I'm trying to fine tune it as much as I can.
