poor gas milage on a 84 __22r
« on: Dec 28, 2012, 06:52:49 PM »
In the last week I started using gas really quickly about 110 miles to a tank.
I'm running 32s on stock 410s'I have done nothing to the engine. Any ideas

Thanks

Check for brake drag,  tire pressure  lift each wheel off the ground and see if a tire has a drag,     elimination of all ideas here,   whens the last time you changed your fuel filter?
Also your pump could be going out, loosing pressure,  or you could have a fuel leak somewhere and be loosing pressure.

Or the timing may me near off,  bearings dragging,  uhm, bad gas,  vacuum leak, at manifold to head,  or bad piston

Check your plugs, see if you are running rich you may need a carb rebuild or adjustment. Also hows your oil, if you have a bad fuel pump seal you may be pumping fuel inside. As also been reported make sure you don't have a caliper sticking at times causing a drag.
