My 12hp R&V is remarkably economical. It will run all day on a litre of fuel. It may have something to do with the fact that it spends most of its time coasting. I think the count is 40 revolutions between firing!

Have you got any video clips of it running? Them flywheels must take some stopping once there running.

I will have to pull it out of storage and get a good video of it running.

It's no hurry just next time it's out will be fine.
