<html> <blockquote>Reading Malcom Stebbins' MPG survey confirms what I've thought for a long time: my '81 Westy is getting poor gas mileage.<br> <br> I have about 2,000 miles on a rebuilt engine and the builder (local German car garage in Menlo Park) can find no problems which might cause poor fuel mileage. Also, it tends to overheat. (I posted yesterday about the radiator behind the front fresh-air intake actually being an oil cooler. I really DO need that cooler, even on a fresh engine.)<br> <br> </blockquote>I'm wondering if my fuel injectors might be clogged or something. Would this cause poor fuel economy *and* overheating?<br> <br> Opinions? How to fix?<br> <br> Lee<br> </html> |
