Ok as it is a carby and i'm thinking it will probably have an auto choke then that is probably the first place to check.If the choke is remaining on or partly on then it will make fuel consumption suck. If not then it may need something more invloved such as carby cleaned and check-ignition timing checked etc. As for the choke to check this you will need to remove the air filter or snorkel assembly and look at the intake directly at the carb.There is normally a flap that will close off the intake when the car is cold and as the car reaches operating temp it opens.It should be fully opened when the car is hot..Do you like the festy Predlock as i hear they are quite popular.
