Default Update

Initially increasing the float height by 1mm to 7.5mm resulted in 22.3 mi/gal (9.4 km/l).
Not as poor as some here have gotten, but not acceptable.
So I increased the level by another mm to 8.5 and got the following: 27.27 mi/gal (11.59 km/l).
This is on a good mix of terrain: flowing single track, short technical sections, a couple of rocky hill climbs, a few miles of fire road.
68 mi (110 km) per tank is more acceptable. Especially since my one race a year is 50 mi between pits. I should just make it without hitting reserve.

My set-up for reference (11 EC300):
RB head mod
38 pilot
N3CH #2
172 main
5000 ft. / 68 F (1524 m. / 20 C)
