  • gas milage 49 EL

    Hello to all
    Been a long time since I posted anything here. Life gets busy and well, you all know the rest.
    Anyway, I have a 49 EL with the Linkert carb. I'm getting about 50 miles before she sputters and need for reserve.
    I know it's a 3.5 gallon tank but I can't fill her up to the brim because of the slant she sits on while filling her. I use a small shim under the jeffery stand to make her sit more upright.
    What should I expect to get for milage? There is no windshield and I weigh 220lbs. no bags either (although I would love to find a set). Roads are mostly flat. today's speed reached 60mph for about 15 miles or so.
    thanks to everyone

    Bob, My guess for mpg should be between 20 and 30 mpg, depending on your gearing and need for speed. Others here will surely have more insight. Randy
