Roger and David: I have a NEW MOSS tank for a BT7. Well about 1 year old
so shouldn't be clogged with dirt.
The mileage I get ( 14 - 15 MPG) is fairly steady. Folks keep saying I
should be getting 18 BUT I don't know how to do that. Any suggestions
would be greatly appreciated.
When I remove the plugs they are a very light tan which I believe is
correct mixture. What else can one do??????
