I may have been able to get the same fuel economy out of the mixture control if I had leaned more aggressively ( not enough hours and no guts ) Regards.

You said that you converted to EFI. Were you unhappy with the carburetor system, and what features or problems caused you to decide to go with EFI? Thank you for taking the time to share your info and experiences.....If it saves me time and money, or prevents me from making a mistake, it is very valuable information to me.
