The mystery of why this intake did not work, has been solved. The theory behind it was that if fuel were allowed to condense on the walls of the tube and run into the cylinders at random, in little puddles, that would make the engine sputter badly from suddenly going rich. This is true. The

The same is true at certain throttle settings on my O-200. However, one has to ask why it runs better. As Mark states below, carb heat improves the fuel distribution. However, it doesn't do that by heating the air. It improves distribution by disturbing the air flow, adding turbulance to the
