I finally took the plunge this weekend, and removed the airbox...and installed a homemade "intake" w/ a K&N air cone filter. Here's what happened, and why I'm confused...
After finishing it Saturday night, I took it a couple miles down the road & back, and it ran flawlessly! I was amazed at the difference in power, low end torque, and throttle responce that were added.
Sunday afternoon I went for a two hour ride, and again it ran perfect.
Later that evening, during the last five minutes of a one hour ride, it began to hesitate, and what I would describe as "fluttering". I thought that I might be out of gas, but it's got about a half tank. I let it sit for about an hour and took it a couple of miles down the road, and again spitting & sputtering!
It seems to accelerate and decel ok, but when it levels off at any steady speed, it flutters. I realize that I've changed the way the carb gets air, and this could change the way it runs...including a possible rejet, but wouldn't that show up immediately? Why after so long of running great?
Any ideas? Anything else it could be that I'm missing? (I was real careful as to make sure there was no "trash" in the intake when I put it on...I thought)
Sorry for being so wordy, but I am NOT a carb guy, so I wanted to explain it as best as I can. Thanks for the help!
