What have you done today with your Austin Seven
Having been disheartened by fuel consumption figures of between 40mpg (Reckless rat) and 50 mpg (Mike Costigan) I felt that my 33 to 36 mpg was a bit low, so I spent the afternoon playing with the carburettor and my 'Colourtune'. Still can't get a nice blue combustion flame, but at least it's not such a vivid orange. Lowered the float level by fitting the thickest needle valve washer I had.
Difficult to say whether the car is going better or not, but it is still capable of something over fifty flat out and climbs up the Berwyns using a mixture of third and top.
It was a lovely afternoon, with superb views from the top of the pass, but, alas I forgot my camera. Managed to leave it on the bench in the garage! Ah well, at least the intention was there.
