The same works in reverse; the colder it gets the weaker it gets, so you need to increase the setting slightly.
Could it be you're increased fuel consumption is related to the better/warmer weather? All depends on at what the baseline ambient temperature was when you set your fuelling mod up originally.

I was also thinking about the hot weather could have anything to say on the fuel consumption. I started out on this leg of my long journey from northern Thailand where it was up to more than 40 degrees and now here in Malaysia where I am now its a few degrees less but more humid.
Anyhow - I did a few internet searches and most of them said fuel consumption should normally go down in hot weather.
The Kev mod was set up in late summer 2013 in Norway so it wasnt at all this kind of temprature, maybe 15-18 degrees daytime.
Anyhow - I will try to twist the little knob down a bit and see if that helps.
Thanks Pleiades, as always you have a sensible answer.
