Cheers

What is up with our T25? It only does 13mpg.! :shock: It is a 1.9 petrol engine with a brand new Webber Carb fitted last week. It has new sparks and air filter. The engine runs well but since the new carb was fitted it has had real troubles starting in a morning. The auto choke comes on and then flo...
