irokin Posted September 6, 2007 Report Share Posted September 6, 2007 Theres no reason you shouldn't be able to get good economy from an aisan carby. I'm getting 7.3L/100km in my KE70 week in week out and I certainly don't drive like a grandma. Thats with all the emissions gear still connected and working as well.

ke70dave Posted September 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2007 hey thanks for the replys guys, i might hit up the wreckers for a complete 4k carby complete with ALL emissions stuff, just to make sure its not the silly 3k carby, maybe the 3k carby is stuffed... 7.3L/100....ohh man i woudl die for that:P ....hyperthetically of course interestingly enough, i used to have good fuel economy, and i havent changed anything since then (maybe 4 months ago till now) which also makes me think it might be the carby getting worse....or wearing out maybe? i dunno..

ke70dave Posted September 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 haha not that i know of mate!!! might be a someone camping out in the boot....but i haven't noticed anyone lately...:P yeah i still got no idea whats goin on, i went nuts with carby cleaner, and it runs a bit better now, but still havent been able to improve efficiency. i got 70km from 10$ this week (so maybe 8L) so a lil improvement, but still annoying though :D can't wait to get the 4age in there, i wont mind if i use a bit of petrol, at least ill be goin fast ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KE30_KE35_KE55 Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 1 Jack up each wheel and check that the brakes are not draging. 2 Check the front wheel bearings are not to tight. 3 Check tyre presures. 4 Take the car on a controlled drive a nice flat drive out in the country for 70km doing about 80-90kmp/h no fast accelaration. I just bought a holden 1 ton ute that was doing 23 litres per 100km with some work I now have it down to 16 litres per 100km around town, 9 litres per 100km in a controled drive as above. as comercial vehicles don't need to state fuel usage on the yellow sticker it is also not covered by warranty. I do wish I bought A new Hilux now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ke70dave Posted September 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2007 well its been a while, so time for an update. i have checked the brakes an no not dragging. my latest figures have been 90km from about 9L or so, which isnt the best, but its alot better than i was getting. so problem seems to be intermitent.... i went nuts with carby cleaner which made it run a little smoother, but not that much difference...
