Double the power , so much easier to drive and can easily keep up with traffic.
Mine is automatic too.
Economy wise its worse than the diesel of course.
but it doesnt smoke anymore and it starts first time every time

Is it carbureted or injected?

nachoman 11-18-2024 01:55 AM

carbureted engine.

might think about a webber later on but for now its driving ok.

Webers are for the Weber experienced which I'm not...they also are good for making great burgers...

Glad you got it on the road, enjoy it!
