Re: gz250 mileage

Also a slight flinch in the fill level can make a signigicant difference in the calculation......since you're only working with about 2 gallons. Single tank figures can vary by a few mpg just...

Re: gz250 mileage

OK, well maybe it's the plumbing that goes along with it........I said "I think".

Re: gz250 mileage

And I think that assumption is incorrect.
The California model has an extra "gizmo" up under the tank, charcoal canister for gas vapors, I think, that requires a "dent" in the tank to go around it.

Re: gz250 mileage

Since there is still a possibility of some confusion here........
I suggest that you fill the tank and start over with your test.

As others have said, there is only one tank and "reserve" is just...

Re: gz250 mileage

Help me out here.

I went back and looked; searched for "petcock" and "Easy Rider" (yes, you can do that with ONE search by filling in both boxes) and did not see any posts where I got it wrong...

Re: gz250 mileage

Well, I certainly don't remember THAT. Reference ??

Re: gz250 mileage

No, wrong assumption.

The main and reserve are NOT two different tanks or different sections of the tank. The ON position draws fuel through a pipe that sticks up from the bottom an inch or...

Re: gz250 mileage

Others have commented on the proper position of the "switch" (some not so nicely) but you have not. I assume that means that you WERE doing it right ????

We've had several folks come here who...

Re: gz250 mileage

Re: gz250 mileage

Actually my advice is to do that once or twice and THEN watch the trip odometer and fill up just a bit BEFORE that mileage. That eliminates the second problem and gives you a little extra cushion...

Re: gz250 mileage

Not exactly sure I understand the "almost empty" part of the question but.......
I was able to go 150 miles without hitting reserve; since I never ran it completely empty, I don't know how much...
