I get 9, 25 liters at 100 km, it is not a very high consumption, where do you move? Is urban, interurban consumption, are you very much on the road? Is the Starter manual or automatic? works well or gets stuck?
It is very relative, I am going to tell you a couple of things that will come well:
1st The color of the ceramics that covers the central electrode of the spark plugs is an indicator of the mixture wealth.
If it comes out of brown, coffee with milk, light yellow or gray, it means that the mixture is correct.
If it comes out of pale or white yellow, it means that the mixture is too poor in fuel, this is good as long as the engine does not stop or pull it or cost it cold and as long as the engine does not roll very high of revolutions because it heats up a little more than the account.
If the body of the insulator comes out of dark brown, it means that too much gasoline enters and that a part does not burn. This ensures a rapid response when accelerating and facilitates cold start, but against contaminates a lot, and waste fuel and money.
To make idle adjustment, the best thing if you don't have a machine to measure the CO, is to start the car, let it hot and make sure that the starter mechanism is completely open. To do this, it is enough to remove the airfield and see that the butterfly is completely vertical.
With the air filter put, and the engine runs, you are pressing the screw of the co little by little to a half -turn per second + or - until the engine starts rating wanting to stop, then loosen the screw of the co half turn until it turns stable again.
To go up or down the idle regime, you must act on the butterfly stop screw clenching it to accelerate and loosening to lower turns, normally the lower the co is, the butterfly top must be tightened so that the engine does not end up stopping.
Although it is a bit long and it seems complicated, it is not, with this system I have a Renault 4 and an express with CO to 0.12 and 0.132 when the top in Spain is 1.5%.
Another thing, to see the engine high chiclé, it is best with the hot engine, take a line of a highway, and accelerate everything that gives the engine for a minute, then, you pass up dead, stop the engine immediately and with the inertia you turn away to the shoulder, take away a spark plug and look to see the color of the insulator. Depending on the insulator you will have to put higher or lower chiclés for the carburetor high circuit. This is done in competition and with motorcycles to see how they go carburation and does not fail.
All the best.
