Default its been a busy year !!

Hi All
Well things have been a tad busy so far this year didn't manage to get the Chev to France in June due to lack of funds but did manage to get there on My Norton WD 16H to be one of the 144 WD machines
Have manged to get to a number of local shows and have just notched up 300 miles on the C15 having just returned from the MVT show at Kemble .
No real problems so far except the vaccum advance does not seem to work I have a new one somewhere in the shed so must dig it out soon.
Having done some miles now I think I have worked out the MPG on the Chev as around 7 mpg is this about right for a 55 235 ci fitted to a C15 ?

Default Mpg

Hi Jeremy,
7 to the gallon sounds a bit thursty to me!. My C30, which is a wee bit heavier than yours, managed 14 mpg going down to Portsmouth a couple of months ago, and that's running a 216 ci. Short runs and she will average 10 mpg. Might be worth checking your jetting and carb.
Good to see you are on the road
Regards
Keith
