Hey Sam,
Probably due to my engine/head work. New seats, valves, guides, ect. The
guy did a absolutely great job. I also spent some time "flowing" the
heads when I was working at the machine shop. Allot of carb adj. time
also, the plug color never varied from the perfect tan once they were
set.
30+ year old parts and carbs all have their own individual history. Some
might of got beat on while others were owned by the guy doing 50 in the
fast lane. Who knows? Maybe the Luigi putting a particular bike together
had a wine lunch, never know. Just try to make the best of what you got,
10-5mpg, splitting hairs to me, well maybe not these days with the gas
prices.
50 mpg? Maybe, I know it was/is allot better than the troublehead, fire
consumes allot of gas:-)

My stone gets about 45mpg on average,if i keep it under 80,and last time
i had the ambo out,she was getting about 40mpg. she is in need of a
tune-up though,timing,sync carbs..etc.
i know kev g's ambo was getting prolly 50mpg when we were riding last
,so it is a good ? why carbs seem to do better.

I'm the proud owner of a '73 Eldo Police and a 2002 Triumph Tiger. Took
the Eldo out for a 110 mile run last Sunday and fueled up just before
heading out and just before stopping at home. I averaged about 42 mpg
with Amal carbs. Monday jumped on the Tiger and filled up and calculated
40.2 mpg. How does a set of old amals out perform EFI? If I switch over
to Delorto's will I have to stop and take gas out of the tank from time
to time or do the Del's just help with acceleration and top end? Do all
Guzzi's with carbs get this type of gas mileage? Do all Guzzi's make you
grin so much your jaw hurts? Do I sell the Tiger and get a Le Manns?
Sorry, Just thinking out loud. BTW, I wind up both toys as hard as I can
when I play with them, they both have a great sounds. Totally differnt,
but great.
