Poor Fuel Economy, Even After New Emulsion Tubes

[TDMberlin]

Hello All,

 

I have a new to me 3VD and it was in need of some care.


So Far:

Valve Clearances set

Oil, Oil Filter, Air Filter and Water replaced

New Discs and R1 Calipers



Carbs Stripped and Ultra sound cleaned

New Factory Pro Emulsion Tubes and needles (3 clip)

137.5 Main

Stock Pilot jet

2 Turns on the mixture screw

Fuel Level/Float as prescribed by FP

New Choke plungers, one was missing a tip.

Carbs Balanced

Electric fuel Pump



GPR Exhaust



When i turn on the ignition i hear the Fuel Pump clicking till the float bowls are full, then it stops.

Throttle response is good throughout the rev range.

The bike starts Perfectly with choke and it can be pushed in fully imediately.

If the outside temperature is over 5 deg it will start without choke and idle. Choke cable has plenty of slack.



Fuel Economy is terrlble.



16 Litres for 200km which is 30mpg. This is mixed riding at least half around town.



I like the bike but the fuel economy is worse than my Fireblade when on Track!!!



Any ideas of what is making it so thirsty?



Thanks for any help
