wilkie
just breifly
For some strange reason (maybe wear or stretching of the timing belt or wear in the dizzy) a few degrees under or over may be the answer. Either take it to a good tune up place or experiment yourself I think mine is optimal (performance and economy) at 12 or so degrees.(Dont quote me on this as its been a long time since I checked) ( A good test or approx timing is that there should be a very noticable power band at around 4,000 rpm on.) should rev freely to 6000 rpm (further if you have extractors- if you dont have extractors - get them as you are driving it at about 75% of its potential suggest Genies ( a bit more expensive but more economical) as they have an excellent design for the patrol - helps pull gas away from the cylinders frees the motor up heaps. Properly tuned it should give 13lit/100 to 20lit/100 km highway to slow bush/hilly around town.
Treat it to some new plugs and leads and use a good high quality oil and air filter. Tyres around 34 front 36 rear for bitumen

then they are quite economical.
