I am getting about 21/ gallon, is this right for my carbed 87 accord lx? If not what do I need to check/change in order to fix this problem? I have already changed the rotor, distributor cap, spark plugs.

My dad is going to show me how to do a tune up this weekend, and would it be alright to just take the cat out all together?
