" From: speedyjeeper@xxxxxxxx " " It looks factory original but the housing only has a hole with the " breather hose out the front going to the valve cover and thats it. I " came to the conclusion that the wee carb draws its air from the gap " between the housing lid and base..all of about 1/16". seems very " retrictive to me, she runs great but is sluggish. I'll try out the " lift filter but the hood is very close already to the top of the " housing. this doesn't sound right. iirc the gap -should- be more like 1/4" all around. i wonder if you could have mismatched lid and base, after all these years? ________________________________________________________________________ Andrew Hay the genius nature internet rambler is to see what all have seen adh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx and think what none thought
