[RDJ184]

[KRDiesel]

Low fuel millage, I am only geting about 5mpg. Looking for ideas on how to tune it. Oh, and I think the secondaries are cracked open at idle. When I spray carb cleaner at the secondaries she will stumble.

[RDJ184]

[RDJ184]

[KRDiesel]

vac secondarys. Think it is a ongoing prob. I have only had it for about 3 years. my grandad left it to me when he passed away. BTW the rv has 15,000 miles original.

[RDJ184]

wow, really low miles...some fluid will get by secondarys if introduced.... did your gran pap live here in NM.. hollys are a pain to get dialed in but once you get it they run great

[KRDiesel]

Nope, Asheville NC. One thought I had is that it was setup for low alt.

Wonder if I should just put a tow bar on it, pull it with the truck. and find a old mustang to put the 460 in

[RDJ184]
