Hi Mark I agree with Gav, Sucking unfilter air into that beautiful engine would be criminal.
But the again I'm in Australia, in an aera where dust can be found in the air up to 10,000+. It occurs more than I like. regards Barry Kruyssen Cairns, Australia RAA 19-3873 k...@bigpond.com http://www.users.bigpond.com/kr2/kr2.htm ----- Original Message ----- From: Glasseyegav To: KRnet Sent: Monday, March 07, 2005 9:07 AM Subject: Re: KR> teeny weeny project update : Re: KR> teeny weeny project update > Gav wrote: > > >Am I to understand that you plan to go without a carb heat > > cable and allow full automatic operation operated by ram pressure alone?? > > Right now it's not, but when I build the next one it will be that way. > Sorry Mark!! I don't personally think that's a good idea for a number of reasons. 1. What happens if you want to test the operation of your carb heat on the ground and your air filter is partially blocked ?? The lower pressure in that area will always suck the valve open putting the carb heat on and reducing performance. 2. If the ram pressure keeps the carb heat turned off, then what's to keep the carb heat turned off while on the ground and letting the engine suck up all of that unfiltered air through the heat muff when you most need filtered air?
