DMorgan Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 Hey everybody, I was wondering if there were any companies that make aftermarket carburators that were more efficient for the EN 401 engine. Also does anyone know aprximately how many miles per gallon a stock EN 401 gets? Thanks, Daniel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Packer Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 I tuned up the first Mack I owned and drove it home.1959 B-421 with "Baby Quad" with over-drive.Chained up the front axle, singled out the rear axle and got 5.5 mpg.This is at 6,000+ above sea level, and some hills.(Western hills!!!)LOLSo - - - no load, no tire friction, tuned up (new plugs, plug wires, re-built carb, and clean oil-bath air cleaner),and an easy shot home (49 miles).Thought I did good!!East Coast has all that air, so you might do a bit better.Packer Quote Keep a clutchin' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
