My 1967 Amazon is guzzling fuel since having a tune-up. It's gone from 220 miles between 33 litre fill-ups (about 25 mpg)to barely 110 miles.
I have checked that the pistons are going all the way up when the choke is pushed in. Is there anything else I should check?
The Haynes manual suggests sticking/broken needle. Would that be a likely cause?
The other symptom is that the throttle is over-responsive, and it seems that the car shoots forward a bit too quickly.
Any ideas would be gratefully received and if anyone knows a very good carb tuner in SE London, please post the details. Thanks.
