somwthing like 40 litres
i have had several L's and they all have weird gauges. It could be to do with the breather system cutting out the fill system or it could be the
gauge or the sender.
To fix you would have to
a) check the breather pipes are clear and not kinked
b) change the sender
c) change the speedo
Cruising you should get 300km's easy

just a thought. I didn't think L bugs came in 1300cc. that they still sold a torsion bar front when they were still selling a L bug. of this is
the case, may a L bug sender (eg for the flat tank) have been put into a vertical tank(eg for a torsion front end)? |
