Rain Hats for Carbs

Post by david58 »

I have cone shaped air filters that I would like to make clear rain hats for any suggestions?
Hot, humid air is less dense than cooler, drier air. This can allow a golf ball to fly through the air with greater ease, as there won't be as much resistance on the ball.

Can you explain the terms you are using?

It is on the back burner for now but I will build one. Trying to get the Kadron carb and intake built first. I am running sooooooooooooooo rich I have to change plus every 100 miles or so. Today idling in traffic the plugs fouled I put in this morning. So I have a bigger problem than I thought with this bistard carb.............. no jets available the head on the jets are smaller than the threads on the jets. And yes I tried filing the head off slowly with a file. I need a lathe to cut them down. On the other hand a Kad should be real jet-able in comparison. But I had fun and that is all that matters to me. Making a intake with 2 flanges for a V style 2 cylinder engine is a real challenge you have 4 angles to get right or it will leak. Call me sometime.

For Webers, bread baking pans work well, I used Bakers Secret loaf pans for ages.
Addendum to Newtons first law:
zero vehicles on jackstands, square gets a fresh 090 and 1911, cabby gets a blower.
EZ3.6 Vanagon after that.(mounted, needs everything finished) then Creamsicle.
