I am very happy and relieved with the consumption for an 1977 engine with 1890 TT and never had a cylinder off and still has compressions in the 75 to 77 range. This is great news for a guy who recently bought used and only has 8 hours in this recently purchased Tiger. !!!! -------- 1977 AA5B N28454, Fuel Totalizer, Lopresti Nose, Red Rudder Cap, 4 cyl. egt, stock otherwise.
