Default XR3i Cab Thurst

My XR3i cab is finally running pretty well after a water pump and a head gasket.

However its drinking petrol like its a V8. Any obvious things to check and which way is leaner on the metering head adjustment?

Cheers!

whats it like on hot or cold start ??

Maybe the injectorsa are a bit tired and sticking open .

C/O adjustment on the metering head i think is anticlockwise to lean off .

Their is also a fuel pressure actuator , little black box on the meter head side ,

This does have an adjustable internal screw that u an use to richen up the mix but doubt if this would be the fault .
