Not a complaint just a comparison to see whether the pump needs to be
reconditioned

SWB IIA 2.25 Petrol 8:1 with Weber & Overdrive. 13-15Mpg round town
17Mpg Motorway.

Needs a new carb anyway, might improve the consumption a bit (I'm
hoping) Other than that I'd love to get a Stage2 9:1 head and SU carb,
but I can't afford the £1200 for it

Jeez .. my S3 had a nackered Zenith and got about 20 - 22, when we put a
decent one on it went to about 24 - 26, whatever road conditions and
immaterial of whether it was empty or towing a ****-load of stuff. ;)

I think I'll play with the fuel screw, coz last year it only just scraped
through the smoke test.
Can't remember if it was in or out for less fuel, mite have to see the
diesel dude.
Im sure that it did 30mpg on a run down to matlock not long after I got it,
thats what i worked it out at any way(100 mile round trip from here)
