Can anyone give me an idea of how much fuel an E27 should get through?
I don't expect miracles but mine is currently drinking 1.5 litres in a little less than 10 minutes... at tickover - so about a 2 gallons /hour
- which seems a lot!
It starts and runs fine, plugs are black (rich not oil). Good compression. Carb recently stripped and cleaned.
Currently running later type manifold and sr4 mag.
TVO engines are thursty,
your engine is running rich which wont help with the feul drinking, your plugs should be a tan brown colour when it is running correctly.
when ploughing you should use about a gallon/ gallon and a half a hour.
your mixture screw should be 2 1/2 turns out for normal work, on light work should be turned in a 1/4 of a turn to lean the mixture off.
