little motors need back psi. u loose power by not having any type of muffler or restriction. just get a better flowing muffler from the auto parts store an they may help with mpg an power. the fuel heater im to to sure on the numbers but it dos help. if u have spare time make 1 an try it. 1 of these weekends ima try to make 1. have you herd of the 200mpg carberator? it works off of vaporising the fuel before it even gos into the intake making it better on mpg. by heating the fuel up it helps it mix with the air to get a cleaner burn with less fuel. u can also play with your timing
