MPG ended up being 48 - but previous blasts had got the bike down to 40-43 so its definitely a big improvement :)

To be honest, spending most of the time between 8-12k in the rev range was bound to hurt the MPG but I think 48 was damn good considering

Hey, do you think that this may work for the 3rd cylinder?

I've bought already this "3 piece Offset Double Sided Angle Screwdriver Set Cranked Bent Wrench", because there is no big loss even if it does not:

Any ideas, what can I buy so it works, without benting, welding etc. etc. as I don't have proper garage.

Nice idea  :) but I dont think it will work, not enough room to swing and keep track of the turns...what I think will work is a small sidewinder socket wrench...has a kunrled knob  (sounds painfull) at the handle end to turn the bit/socket.they are out there but are hard to find....let me know how you get on as iam after one aswell  ;)

I thought that you don't need to swing that tool (the one I've posted). I thought you can turn the kunrled knob (sounds horrible :] ).
Anyway, still got problem with the 3rd cylinder idle screw.

If there is anyone that tested any tool that I can just click & buy, please post the link. Thanks in advance.
