Hi, I think I am thinking about to rebuilding my carby. Car has 200,000km oil is changed when dirty.
CAn anybody tell me how many km I should get out of a full tank?
The car struggles a bit for a couple of minutes when cold, but starts first turn of the key, and when warm drives great. Am getting 400km per tank
Also should I do something about the cat? like get rid of it. How much should I pay for a new one? and should I do this at the same time as the carb?
Cheers

I reckon 400 is good for a 200k engine with a unfuel efficient carby.
It is struggling when cold because you probably have a auto choke and when its colder they sometimes need adjusting. A after market cat should cost about 160 plus fitting.

What makes you think that the cat needs replacing?

400 km to how many litres of fuel??? A tank of fuel is 60L or a little more if you really fill it up. When the guage is touching the "E" on the guage you can still drive for about 150km if you take it easy.

Its important to quote amount of fuel to number of Km to be accurate. The L series fuel guage is not the most accurate of guages around - keep that in mind...
