I was thus able to replace the core plugs on that side and – the real point of the exercise – have the necessary surgery done that permits proper ram pipes and decent sized air filters to be fitted. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>OK, so the surgery’s done. A very neat job. And everything is back on the engine.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I had very short ram pipes on before and silly little gauze/wire filters that pushed on over the pipes’ trumpet mouths. They’d have stopped rabbits getting in but wouldn’t have much use for anything else.....<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I didn’t touch any of the carbs’ settings nor did I mess with any of the linkage lengths.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>So, she still starts first time but the responses are very different. It’s got to be because the amount of air is radically(?) different??? I don’t want to go back to the rolling road unless I have to.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>A couple of questions......<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoListParagraph style='text-indent:-18.0pt;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'><![if !supportLists]><span style='mso-list:Ignore'>1)<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'> </span></span><![endif]>Going from the minimum ram pipe to something around 60mm gives faster air and that means more air.....correct?<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoListParagraph style='text-indent:-18.0pt;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'><![if !supportLists]><span style='mso-list:Ignore'>2)<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'> </span></span><![endif]>Is it safe to assume that more air weakens the mixture and that I must enrichen it (Give it more fuel)????<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoListParagraph style='text-indent:-18.0pt;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'><![if !supportLists]><span style='mso-list:Ignore'>3)<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'> </span></span><![endif]>Also, in the great scheme of things, the readjustments will all be fairly minimal?

(Until the surgery). I’ve not really grasped their intricacies on an intellectual(?) level so far, more on a purely mechanical level. I can do the brute force but anything more than the ignorance eludes me where Webers are concerned.
