Question Ford laser fuel consumption issue

Hi All,

Im new here on the forum and I recently bought a 1990 Laser KF, 1.3 SOHC. Not used to Carbs that much, But i assume fuel consumption should be better than what i am getting right now?
I get 5.8 Kilometers per liter. Checked the plugs, running Champions, looks in decent condition, but looks white. Which means its running lean. Not rich.. Isn't it? I've checked the air filter, looks quite clean. anything else i can check for? checked for a MAF sensor, doesn't have one so i assume carby engines dont need / use one? Car doesn't over heat or anything.. Moves quick enough, considering its a 1.3 liter.
Please advice guys... Thanks...

Also guys, Could someone post a picture of the carb setup under the air intake? ive been trying to figure it out as some of the vacuum lines are not plugged in. and im not sure where it goes as i couldn't find an image online. Please guys & Gals.. really need help/advice here...

Ian.
