I am getting about 10-12 MPG on the Hwy with my '83 1.9L
watercooled FI Vanagon, less in town. The exhaust smells
extremely rich. Engine runs OK. Timing seems to be correct,
though I have no notch on my pulleys and used a ^ shaped mark on
the flywheel and centered it in the timing hole. Replaced the O2
sensor, plugs, oil and air filter. Vacuum lines appear properly
routed and suspect one relaced. Other rubber air lines seem to
be OK.

Suggestion as to what to be looking for will be greatly
appreciated--and i'll takle anyone who helps me figure this out
for a Sunday drive:)
