why does the 83 ea81 california emissions feedback carb wagon get only 16 mpg?

Mine did a lot better than that. You have problems.

My Brat gets 28, and isn't even feedback..... my wagon when it was 2WD got 30 with the feedback Hitachi, and about 32 with the weber. My friend has my old feedback Hitachi carb on his 2WD 84 wagon and is getting about 33 due to high compression from carbon build up.

what does feedback mean?

what does feedback mean?

02 sensor and engine temp sensors give feedback to the computer, which then feeds the carb the signal for the optimal air/fuel ratio.

mines not getting too good of mpg i think im geting less than 20 but then again i think my weber needs to be tuned and i have big tires on it. how do you tune the weber to pass emissions is it hard with a weber on it too pass??
