Here's one for your log then. Friend of mine had K&N's on his Porsche
914-6, which has triple barrel downdraft Weber carbs. Driving through the
rain once, he managed to splash water up onto the air filter elements. The
air filters literally shed little tiny bits of fiber into the engine!
Clogged the air bleeds in the Webers up so badly that it wouldn't even idle
any more. He finally had to pull them off and tear them down to get it to
run right again.
