How many "clicks" should I get to a tank of fuel on a 97 Formula III? (600)

If " clicks " means miles , I would start thinking about a gas station after 100 miles.

This past weekend I would have been lucky to hit 80 miles.
I was the "big fill" all weekend, even used more than the 800 MXZ.

Funny thing was the new REV with us only using half the amount that I was ....

I would think you should be able to do better than that. Other than the fuel problem, does the sled run pretty good ?

Sled is running great, loads of power & it always seems to starts! (knock on wood)

Pulls strong, finally got the suspension set right so that the skis will stay on the ground a little more ... first couple of rides it was like a wheelie machine!

Those Formualla III's , would rip. Toasted my 670 all the time. I am going to leave this one for someone that might of owned one and had similar problmes, but I have seen them go better than 80 miles on a tank. Good Luck

i have a 96 was getting 10mpg last year.this year it dropped to 8mpg took it in they cleaned and synced carbs. now iam back to 10mpg you sould get atleast 9.5mpg just my .02.

I have owned 3 triples now and all have been great on fuel. My '97 Mach I ( 700 ), closest in age to your sled, would get around 15 mpg. It would get about 120 miles or 200kms to a tankful of fuel. This would be riding steady at 40 mph or something close to that. I have gone 125 to 130 miles on a tank of gas with my '99 MachZ, not by choice however!! If you're getting 80 miles to a tank of gas, that sounds a little rich to me. I used to ride with some guys from work that got that kind of range on American made sleds (not brand bashing, but not stating names either!!)

about 100 miles per tank 96 and 98 FIII 600s riding hard .

:withstupid: I own a 97 FIII 600 and a 97 Mach 1(700) they get about the same gas mileage which is around 10 - 12 MPG.

You have to remember there is a different size gallon in the U.S. Our American counterparts have a 128 ounce gallon, and we have 160 ounce gallon in Canada. You will have to add 25% to any MPG values stated by our cousins to the south. Size does matter! :D

She is holding steady at around 80 miles to a tank.
I did notice last night when my buddy and I traded that it is blowing a little bit of Purple / Blue Smoke ... I assume this is a sign that it is running rich.
Checked the plugs today and they are a nice golden brown ....
