Call around-some dealers don't have the jet assortments.

I would find an INDY to do it or a good friend.
&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;Too bad you live so far away, I would do it for $50.00 ,and a few drinks, and I would show you how to do it.
&nbsp\\; I just looked, and your main jet is not hex it is slotted.

Now, when I lived in downtown Chicago, I got as low as 28 because it was all stop and go, stop light to stop light. I've done some tweaking since then plus open road at a steady cruise will always give you the best mileage, say 60-65.
try a calculator to figure out your mpg 60-65 MPG??????? unless this&nbsp\\;is this on your moped or hybrid car
