at least you'll get an idea of the squish, if you at least have some solder at your home? i did this and then just put a thinner base gasket and the bike runs amazing now (even better then before) i went from 1.2mm to 1mm squish on my '15 ec 200.
the base gasket was cut from a gasket sheat i had laying around and happend to be exactly what i needed,so lucky me

so start by measuring your squish or you'll be chasing a ghost...
Nah Hannes, it's not necessary to measure the squish at this moment. It's a carb problem not an engine problem. I need to get out 10km per liter at least. Currently the engine uses about 1,3 liters per 10km.
It's easy to reduce the fuel consumption I was just wondering why all 4 other 300's I jetted the very same way used around 1 liter per 10km but the only one that drinks is mine.

I'll simply try a needle that's a half clip leaner and/or reduce the pilot jet from 42 to 40. I will get this right in less than an hour but the real problem is: I can't ride at the mo...

Thanks for your help, much appreciated!
