1996 Triumph Adventurer 900cc Gas Mileage Issues

Hi,
I had someone clean the carbs three times and very poorly might I add. So after many hours of YouTube research I found how to extensive cleaning of my exact 3 Mikuni BST 36 carbs. New jets, new float assemblies and bowl gaskets. Used torch head clears to make sure all pert holes in the jets we polished and cleaned heavily with carb cleaner. The bike runs great now but seems to inhale gas. About 17 miles to the gallon. Float heights are set to spec. Vacuum sync is perfect. So somewhat unsure why the poor mileage seeing it’s suppose to get around 40ish. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance. Dan

 

Yes. Standard exhaust and an airbox with a k&n filter.

 

hi, the bike has 16k miles on it. New to triumphs so I’m not quite sure what the emulsion tubes are. Can’t smell gas and don’t have any leaks. New head to carb rubber units. Stumped.

 

This is not a scam. I’m looking for tips if anyone else has had this type of issue. Hoping for help. That’s all.

 

The emulsion tubes are in great shape. I just cleaned, polished and used a torch tip cleaner along with lot of carb cleaner to make sure they were very clean.
