Recommended Posts

Hey Guys, I bought an eg8 single carb ride 3 months ago & observed fuel efficiency is very low. seems to be working 6-7 per Letre (260 km for full tank). observed there is a small miss also but in most of times water comes out from the silencer. Hey guys pls help with this & tell what can be the issue.. is there any good mechanics to check this issue???

May be it's the time for a proper tuneup/carburetor rebuild

bro, this may be somewhat useful. sometimes its not advisable to check the accuracy of fuel consumption by running the car to the lowest level of fuel in the tank. 6-7 is not acceptable by any terms. just try to fill the tank, run for 100 kms, fill it up from the same petrol station, and even then if u dont get atleast 8-10 , then u need to do a tune up

Smell is not coming from exhaust (working arround 260km per full tank).. Any mechanics to check my car??? pls give me a contact.. is it ok to check the issue with a normal mechanic???

How is the condition of the petrol tank?.Check for the leaks from the tank & also check the petrol lines connecting to petrol pump(situated in the engine bay just in between carb and engine) and carb. I think your eg need a proper tuneup including a carb repair.Theres a repair kit available at tech motors includes all the packings,springs,jet,etc..which costs around 2-3k. Its better you can find a guy who knows D15b3 carb cause its a bit complicated one with stuff like power valve, thermo valve,auto choke and lot of vacum lines.

Mate, my mechanic is superb, but his garage is at Horana. There are few honda guys around colombo like upul-malabe and waruna- kesbewa. I think you can find futher details by searching a bit, as this topic has been discussed before.

Quote : but in most of times water comes out from the silencer. ???

Water in the silencer does not show a good sign always. The Water is a by product of internal combustion. At the first few minutes it appear as water ,when the engine temperature /exaust pipe temperature rises it vanishes and appear as steam which is not visible.

In cold countries and cold environments,you can see condensed steams again appear near silencer end as a smoke, but it is still water in another form.

The Engines running at high fuel ratios (A faulty condition - cooler engine) also attribute water in the silencer for prolong periods. Then how can anybody say, it is correctly tuned engine?.

This is a wrongly understood factor !

Sammycajer : Overhaul and clean your carb. See the conditions of ignition leads too.
