I was chasing two causes of high fuel consumption.

One was the float bowl. My six year old Lectron has a clear bowl so I could see that the fuel level was all the way to the top (caused hard cold starting as well).

I adjusted the float even though Kevin at Lectron was sure it was the float valve pointy thing. My float adjustement helped, but unless I closed the petcock, the level would go up in a few hours. I ordered a new valve and i cured that.

The other problem was the remote choke that was unable to fully close off.

Once I fixed these I had MPG and power back.
