At the Moment im getting only 26-27 mpg around town, which is dissapointing  

Im not sure why ?

I drive alot of small distances ,which probably doesent help,also alot of the time it is barly warmed up by the time i get to my destination.

but it should be better right ?

car goes well otherwise, no problems to report.
plus on the open road im not getting much better ( about 34 mpg) at a average of say... 70 mph.

My cold start lever doesent seem to make any differance to the running of the engine,Maybe a fraction quieter when cold.

I tend to need to change gear at about 3000 rpm ,to achieve could smooth shifts,but thats only because theres no power at all untill 2000 rpm. but that shouldnt cause such poor figures.

I have carried out the FAQ mods & am running only 12 psi.
What do you think,pump timing ?


yes
