If only it were that easy

OK, the swinging needle you have has probably worn the jet, hence fuel consumption. recommend you get the CZ fixed needle & conversion bush, (about $20) and replace the jet. The spring loaded needle (ABP?) - chuck it severely.

This should restore fuel consumption to reasonable level, however to get optimum consumption & performance you should consider dyno tune. As usual, it all comes down to how much you want to pay

As for fuel consumption generally, Clarkson's stint in the Bugatti Veyron l(Top Gear last nite) puts it into perspective!
