I've had my 75 LUV going for a little while now, and this weekend I put a good shakedown drive on it. I drove over 100 miles from leaving work through Saturday afternoon. It does alright, but it has a sputter/hesitation at low throttle and is only getting around 11MPG. The truck is bone stock, the carb has been recently rebuilt, it has a Mr. Gasket fuel pump rated for around 4PSI. It clears up and runs well with more throttle, but I would imagine that it must be getting too much fuel. I rebuilt and tuned the carb myself, and the mixture screw is only 2.5 turns out, so I think it is set about right. The only thing I'm not sure about is whether there is a little ball missing from somewhere in the body of the carb. I know the one under the accelerator pump is there, but I think that one more came out from somewhere. I'm hoping someone on here has more carb knowledge than me and can give some help.
