Newby w/questions
Hello all.
Just joined the forum , I've been watching for a while
I got a 2002 dyna low rider about 3 weeks ago, rode it a couple times but it gets a little cold out there.
I did get the trip odometer to 52 miles and notice i was over 2 gallons of gas shy of the full tank I started with??
I can imagine a 1300 takes a little fuel but 26 miles to a gallon, I think thats what my wife's car gets.
Any ideas ?
Thx
SK

Carbureted? I'd guess the enrichener isn't seating...
You should be getting 40-something.
Might also check that the float bowl isn't leaking or overflowing.

Given the age, it wouldn't be a bad idea to go thru the entire fuel system, from tank to intake, to make sure there are no problems. All the rubber bits get hard and crack from age and ethanol.
