In my younger days we used to put aluminum window screening sandwiched between 2 carburetor spacers to help atomize fuel. Theory was that the screen creates micro vortexes and helps with a more even air/fuel mixture distribution to all cylinders. We didn't have a dino machine to test this out,

I have an old 1835 Hapi engine and was having problems with uneven fuel distribution to different cylinders as indicated by hot and cold egt readings. I made a scaled down Cyclone Vortec generator of my own since the one theirs(Cyclone Vortec) was too big to fit in my VW intake manifold. It

Yes, if you have a carb with a choke on it, I would not use a primer either. I have an Ellison and therefore must have a primer, or it won't start. airgu...@comcast.net wrote: = I removed my primer as I was only using the choke to start.

Well, my latest folly with intake manifolds failed miserably. It started quite easily, but refused to increase power past 2000 RPM. So, I'll chuck that wad of cash in the trash and try something else. But, I did find out that you can start your VW engine quite easily with the primer going to
