Back up a little in the thread where I started talking about the addition of the big cone air filter...
I currently have it plumbed in with:
Stock carb-airbox boot to a pvc 90* street with about a 3.5" nipple of pipe hanging down the backside of the battery. The air filter attaches to the end of the nipple hanging down.
There are no obstructions. Quite the opposite, I think... is occurring.
The cone filer flows too freely, and allows for no build up of air pressure at the rear top edge of the carb mouth. The port on the top side center of the mouth of the carburetor controls the slide diaphragm.
It's freaking cold outside this morning... but mostly dry and not too windy. I am going to bundle up and make the commute on it. Keeping the fingers crossed the efficiency improves!
