Pete,

I am on the 50+ mpg side. On both bikes.

Maybe the brakes are dragging? Always riding up hill? Maybe your speedo is
wrong. Get a bike speedo like I did and then you will know for sure.

Regards...Ian

 I understand Loops get around 50 mpg.
I am getting 37-38 mpg

It seems to run well. no smoking, I tried to lean out the mixture but then
get slower idle speed and popping during deceleration.
I'll do a compression check and balance the carbs next week. Maybe that
will help.
