Check warmup regulator pressure, could be staying at 1 Bar hense it would be like having Choke on. Also check volts and ground to heating element to warm up regulator. If inop, the pressure will not rise till engine fully warm 10 minutes. alot of gas can be used. Brakes Dragging? Calipers in front cam seize and not release, Old front/rear brake hoses will collapse inside and hold brake apply pressure on too. Drive 5 miles and stop and feel for heat on steel wheel. warm hot one is winner. Also how are you setting CO? warm, 875 RPM< charcoal line pinched and set till 2% CO is measured at tail pipe. ODO may be off. Fully Fully Fill gas to top filler neck, get on interstate and cruise at 60 MPH< ( no higher inless 5 speed fitted)for 25 miles ( using state highway signs or mile markers, and top top up gas again. This will be real. finally you can get a o2 sensor thread ring and cut a hole in header just behind where the 2 branches mee, and fit an )@ and find online O2 reader.You would want to see .4 to .6 volts steady speed.
