Title: What do you run on top of your carb, N/A no power adder?
Post by: 1000hpJohn on February 08, 2017, 09:26:42 AM

Got to thinking about this and well, a scoop would block my vision straight on unless I sit on a milk crate molded to the seat!!!  Lol. Remember, N/A only...

So what do you people run on top of your carb?  any pictures would be great...
I was thinking of a little scoop like the Greer Black Prudhomme yellow digger, just a wee bit taller though.

Thanks

John

Going to search on line now so I will ask questions about different options...

Hey Mate I ran this in the early 1980's. With no other changes I picked up 6 MPH. Don't worry about vision you will see around it fine. Your air scoop must be 100% sealed and tall to pick up cool air away from the engine. I'm about to fit one to my current FED with a single butterfly fuel injection set up.
