Haven’t had a chance to follow up on anything as we have been prepping for our Easter crawfish boil. Did get a nice shot of the truck the other morning when I was out picking up a yard of mulch.



Also, truck drove great with a full load!

1st tank in the books.  15.3 MPG.

70% Commute
30% City

~15miles of driving with a full load of mulch in the bed.

Feel like i should be doing a bit better than this.  My commute is very flat and easy across the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway.  A couple of hi-rises in the bridge to allow ships to pass but that's about it. Although some days I do have to battle a mean headwind when heading southbound across the lake.



Will check on timing and tire PSI this evening.

You should be doing a lot better than that. Regardless of whether i drive like my grandma or with the pedal to the mat everywhere, i get 20 mpg. Sitting on the highway for hours and draining a whole tank i get 20, or commuting around the city for a week i get 20.
Thats with 22r turning 35” tires with 5.29’s

Have to factor for elevation and humidity. Best a 22r gets in mobile al is 18 that's no ps, no ac, 4.37 gear and 31s. My 3rz swap gets 14-15. It's the sea level thing.

I run 35psi on the street and 12psi off road
I will continue to run my tires @ 35psi on the street so I dont use every drop of fuel to get to a trail. A half tank of fuel to go 50 miles is ridiculous and that is how much fuel wasted running deflated tires.
23psi is not good for the road, air up and your fuel mileage will increase exponentially.

Agreed that 23 psi is low for road use.  I only checked psi after I had started these tests. Once I get through this current tank I plan to air back up to 30psi and see where that gets me.  If I go much higher than that I have trouble getting these tires to flatten out. I think they would be happier on a wider rim.

In my trucks with 30 to 33” tires I run 25 psi in the front and 20 in the rear...  That is my usual daily street pressure.  If I haul something like a 4-day camping trip to the dunes, I air up to 32 / 35.

I have experimented with different tire pressures.  I like the lower pressure for comfort and less road noise and vibrations.  I have always gotten great mileage and good even tread wear out of my tires.  Although it is generally purported to save fuel with higher tire pressure, I have found NO measurable difference in gas mileage between 25/20 and the recommended PSI on the tire spec.

Rock crawling PSI starts at 10.  Mud, snow, sand is typically 4 PSI.

I’ll contribute the slight increase to more commuting less city this time around.

Aired up the front tires to 32psi and the back to 30.

Will see what the next tank holds. Next up will start playing with the primary jet, which is really what this thread is all about.

For everyone here, have you verified your mileage based off gps? 

For example, 32” tires and 5.29 gears WILL not be accurate if you calculate your mileage based upon what yor odometer says.

 Yep, told him the same thing, cause he's going slower than his speedo shows, therefore less miles travelled.

When I ran 32" swampers and 5.29s I was going something like 10-12% less miles than my odometer told.  Based on that the 19 mpgs would be in the 17s.

Assuming 65 mph freeway speeds like 9% then?  I ended up using a speedo sender from an '80 with 4.37s last time so with 5.29s and 35s it was dead nuts.

Interesting discussion on fuel mileage.  I am mostly stock so don't have to worry about any of that. 

On a different note, I swapped in the 116 Jet that came with this carb and now the float bowl is getting too full.  So I think I accidentally adjusted the float tabs while fiddling in there and havent had time to dial that back in. Also, I was swapping jets with all the choke linkage stuff still attached, and I bent the metering needle attached to the secondary.  I had been able to make this same adjustment on the Aisin carb with no issues, and never bent that needle. After market stuff is probably not as forgiving.

This is just another reason to remove all that choke linkage crap and go manual.  Without the linkage attached you can just lift the float bowl cover straight out and not have to worry about dropping those dumb little hairpin connectors and never finding them again.

While contemplating how much I hate the Vacuum/E-Choke setup on these carbs, I realized that I had everything laying around my office to make my own variant.  I whipped up a quick manual demo just to prove to myself that this could work.  It would be cool to tap into the coolant temp sensor (or install my own) and automate this based on coolant temp.  If I actually end up going through with that I will devote a thread to it. Just a fun diversion for now!

1) Servo Motor
2) Resistive Touchscreen
3) Arduino UNO Dev Kit
4) Imagination that the Servo is attached to the choke shaft in place of the E-Choke Bi-Metal Coil. Choke itself would be in the same plane as the attached double arm.

Voila!

One could easily add a temp input into the Arduino and make this 100% automated. If you had an electric choke you might could also PWM that to have multiple stages with no motor.
If you see it, its for sale.

...and then you could use 4 injectors ran off a distributor via an ecu to eliminate the carb. I like where this is going!

Reason the float bowl was flooding is because the little spring plunger inside the back of the primary metering valve (see pic) had fallen out and was just chilling in the float bowl.



Also, I tried to use the primary metering valve from the Aisin carb in this one and it would not fit.  The diameter was slightly larger than the one that came with the Trail Gear one.
