Hi Joe,

Unless you can see fuel dripping down the carb throat at idle, I've  
found that poor milage is more often the result of a problem in the  
ignition system.  Besides the well known plugs, points, and wires,  
not getting enough advance - either because of a stuck mech advance,  
wrong base timing, or no vacuum advance - can really drop the milage.
