Fuel injection sytems today...always meter the fuel BETTER than
carbs.....BUT...the new engines are a "total Package"
You can increase your Vairs winter mileage by:
1 Make sure your engine runs HOT
2 Make sure your intake air is heated!
3 Maximize Timing advance.....always more advance in cooler weather....
Remember last winter...I tweaked my 69 110 / 4 / 3.27's to start easily,
warmup FAST, keep me HOT [ smoking with window down ] and do it at any
speed...
