First I gotta thank tech support for all the great info. helping me get my new SBT motor up and running it's a?? off. I know I asked a lot of "dumb" questions. First trip out I did the perscribed break in and finished off the day burning a total of 30 gallons gas (sore butt). It seemed to run a little better as the day went on.
Next question, I have two GTI's one 1997 and a 1999 (the one I just rebuilt)and the older machine runs great but gets about 25% worse fuel economy. The 1997 has a white motor with about 157 lbs compression in both cylinders, I have never tried a carb adjustment because it runs so well at all throttle settings. My question is, is there an inherent difference in these two motors fuel consumption characteristics or should they be a little closer in fuel usage. And, if there is not an expected difference, what, if any, improvement suggestions are there.
