Carby woes

[Morton]

Hi all, I am sure this is not a unique issue, I am currently getting 30L to 100KM's on my truck, it has 35"s, it is a 4.2 Manuel, exhaust is massively black & dripping on start-up, idles well, drives well, choke sticks on so sometimes I have to physically knock it back, mostly goes back on its own, outside of this fuel issue it goes really well, I have spent alot of time fixing all the gremlins throughout recently & have tuned the idle & fuel mix correctly, actually it wont even stall with the mix screw all the way in, unknown what needle & seat it has, timing 10 advanced, heaps of power, my questions are;

Is there an aftermarket Carby that complies & can be fitted (via adapters etc) or do I have to have this carby rebuilt to specs, can the auto choke come off & have a manual choke fitted, has anyone fitted anything aftermarket & if so what did you fit & how did it go? is thier a good carby specialist in Sydney, Wollongong or Central Coast anyone can recommend, I live in Western Sydney but travelling isnt an issue if highly recommended.

Desperately needing help

The 4.2 carbs are dearer to run then the EFI 4.2, the EFI in standard guise get between 20-25l/100Ks , so throw 35s on and any extras and 30l/100Ks wouldnt be far of the money...
You can get a holley carb retro fitted, they cost a packet for the conversion and arent as good off road as a stockie carb, unless you get the dedicated off road version, more money

IF your that worried about economy , put it on a dyno and get the engine tuned up
