Eric,
15 mpg with a DGV carb.... Assuming the car is tuned up
correctly, and the carb's the problem, you need to check and make sure
the power valve is not stuck open or has a bad diaphragm (leaking).
Good Luck, Skip '74 B

To: mgs@autox.team.net (MG LIST)
salutations my MG brothers and sisters!!
my daily driver is a 65 MGB. 5 main engine with stock cam, running a
webber conversion and a four synchro trans.
My last fill up the milage was 15 mpg. I've checked the odometer against
highway markings, and it's accurate.
My questions..
1. this seems really bad for the mgb. I thought the cars were typically
getting around 27 mpg.
2 is this the right rebuild kit for these carbs? >REBUILD KIT FOR WEBER
32/36 DFEV/DFAV<
car has a fuel air mixture LED readout that always reads rich, so that
needs to be addressed after rebuild.
Now that I think of it, a full tune up is also in the future.
other (polite) suggestions appreciated.
Eric.
