Unless I have missed it you dont say what carb. If its a jetex try adjusting at a slightley fast tickoverthe air screw. Wind it all the way in it may start to choke then slowley out. It should start to speed up slightly as you hit a sweet spot for mixture. Leave it at that and adjust your tickover to your liking. If turning the screw makes no differance you need to change your pilot. I start at the 45 and see what its like. Get it right with plug chops at upto half throttle then look at the main jet. Reducing pilot will effect your main jet as 123 seems small im running a 45 and 124 on a muggy 185

An N2 is no good in traffic, it's more for open road riding where you need a cooler running plug. For your set up ( which is similar to mine ) you should use an N4, or even an N5 if you're only knocking about in town. These will run hotter and keep the plug clean.

I changed to a NGK B7ES this oiled up too.

By the way I'm sure I should be getting more than around 10 miles per litre, that about 45 MPG. I expected 70 MPG at the very least.

ya get more mpg if ya take it in a van
