Randy...If you note. The cylinders on an engine,
straight or V or opposed, are numbered with respect
to the crankshaft journal's position to the front or
sometimes rear of the engine...If a certain cylinder
is controlled by #3 journal it will be number #3
cylinder. Its that simplebob p

I don't know if this would work on a VW aero conversion, but you can
generally get a more stable mix and airflow with a plenum chamber before the
runners to the cylinders. Take a look at many automotive high performance
intake set ups, both carb and injected.
Just a thought; use at own risk.
I would suggest you perform a cylinder leakage test using compressed air.
You may find a ring or valve problem on one or more cylinders.
With two cylinders on the same side rich I would suspect that it has
something to do with the way the air goes around the bend just before
splitting into the first Y. Some carbs, including the Posa, had a piece of
sheet metal in the intake tube that had a straight section then a twist to
give the
The richest of the two is #3, and the one only slightly rich is #1. They are
on opposite sides, on the prop end. I am using an Ellison EFS-2. The two aft
cylinders, #2 and #4, are nice and clean.

Dan,
The air will stay to the outside of any curve.. A
friend made a new set of cooling shrouds because one
cylinder was running hot. He showed his new invention
to a heating and AC friend who told him it would not
work without dividing the air at the front of the
cooling shroud as the air
Did someone change the # system on this engine? All
apposing engines are odd on one side even on the
other.
