If it picks up from slow speed comfortably, that's when it's adjusted. I got hesitation, and assumed it was weak mixture, but the CO meter showed it was too rich. Readjusting a tad less fuel gave a much smoother pick-up in second (eg). 13mpg sounds more like choke problems to me, or leaking needle-valve(s). Does the exhaust look sooty? Dave.
