I have an 04 700 carb whos' fuel consumption is deteriorating rapidly. I use it for moderate trail riding with moderate hills and not of low range stuff. I was getting about 70 plus miles per tank now i'm down to about 50. This makes me have to carry extra fuel when we go on a ride. The exhaust is clean and the engine has plenty of power with no hesitation. Any ideas whats going on? What kind of fuel mileage are you guys getting? Thanks

 

wow thats pretty bad, my old 700 would get at least 80 miles to a tank and that was getting on it often, lugging it i could get usually 85 to 90 so im not sure what would make u loose 20 miles to a tank, hope u find the prob

I had an 02 700 that I could get 80-85 miles to the tank, but my 05 is closer to 65-70...smaller tank I think?

 

Check the air filter, maybe install a K@N or twin air for mre air, it helps. It might also be the gas, they put different additves in the winter seems to make everything make worse milage.
