payne'e Posted August 9, 2007 Report Posted August 9, 2007 alright, i've just got some shorter air filters for my twin 40 webbers. i tried fitting them but can't get the trumpets on. is it ok to run it without them? the new filter is on the right in pic
Mart Posted August 9, 2007 Report Posted August 9, 2007 i'd say your best to keep em on so you have a smoother airflow, look at burtons or demon tweeks they should stock shorter trumpets
X-pack-Glyn Posted August 9, 2007 Report Posted August 9, 2007 This is an extreme case but heres what happened to mine... without the trumpets i lost 15 quids worth of fuel to about 20 miles with the filters on. with long trumpets and no filters i see almost 4 times that. trumpets are essential to correct functioning of carb in my opinion.
payne'e Posted August 9, 2007 Author Report Posted August 9, 2007 cheers but even if i were to get shorter trumpets i don't see how i would get them in because of the bracket is in the way
Mart Posted August 9, 2007 Report Posted August 9, 2007 they keep a smooth supply of air going in, you could always ditch the filters and just run trumpets like a lot of ppl do or get some fine mesh and cable tie it over, fine stuff similar to a rice cullinder i'll dig out some pics of my mk2 well i was gonna post a pic of my 40's with said stainless mesh on but it wont allow me to put pics up cos i havent been egistered long enough, i just cut 4 pieces slightly igger diameter that trumpets folded spare mesh back over and stuck a cable tie round the trumpet to hold it all in place worked perfect and didnt look a mess hears stories of ppl using tights but i wouldnt suggest it as they could be sucked in
mossy Posted August 9, 2007 Report Posted August 9, 2007 i ran twin 40's on a 1680 crossflow....never had any problems did like the go go juice though!
