Well its mot was done and it failed
on headlights needed setting
so it past after that job was done and it now has Tax in the window
but the little git will not idle correctly
so its been a few days of thinking and after doing a few things my mate thinks its the carbs that are just dumping fuel into the engine ie under 10mpg
so after checking the jettings on the carbs he thinks its down to the floats inside the carbs not opening correctly ie just dumping the fuel in ie number 12 on this link
