Thread: Miles per gallon??

i just got a ct70 clone, 50cc... How many miles per gallon do you guys get?? i am only getting like 30 miles per gallon.. seems very low..

I get like~100 MPG, with my 110cc, if I dont drive like a maniac.
30 is way low for a 50cc, remember a tank of gas does not = 1 GAL.

thanks for response.. guess i'll have to measure how big my tank is.. i thought it would be at least 1 gal... after 30miles, my tank is empty.. could it be something wrong with bike that is causing it to suck up so much gas?? there is no gas leak that i can see..

30 miles/tank is still way low. Did you turn the pet cock on the Carb to reserve after the first main tank ran out? Try that.

yeah.. i'll give that a try.. but i really did not see a reserve setting on it.. only ON/OFF.. and i just leave it on the ON position...

Your air filter might be dirty, Or its jetted too rich maybe...

thanks..i'll try cleaning the air filter today.... as for rejetting?? is that just something simple i can do on this bike like adjusting a screw?? or should i bring it into a shop to rejet it??

I too have a 50cc clone. My bet is that the line on the inside is eithe pinched or on the wrong bung of the tank. Mine was both! I took the tank out, put new lines on it, and fixed it all up. Your bike has a .66 gallon tank on there. Should be good for a 60 mile range I'd think.

air filter is not dirty... as for the pinched lines... is that something fairly simple to do?? i am mechanically inclined, but i have never taken apart a bike before...
