“Take engineering”. Pal I was an engineer before you were born. NMU class of ‘71, masters U of M ‘73. I have never heard a collage educated person say “you should take engineering in collage” before. So what is that, a 4 credit hour course? Oh it must have a lab too, right.

NMU class of ‘71, masters U of M ‘73. wow that was a long time ago haha. Maybe they came up with some new stuff since then? I know they spell "college" differently now.

I Guess we all agree that we tune WOT With the main jet.. Thats all that matter's xD Even when the air fuel mixture screw would have some effect. you shouldn't adjust it for high rpm's that's where the main jet is for. Like if you agree

One of the problems with being lazy and using the tablet. Very hard for these old eyes to see what I’m typing with a black background and (fuzzy) white letters ( well fuzzy to me). I never proof read this stuff, not like I writing a paper to be published.
I don’t know if it’s accurate, but someone over at the CC told me that those of us that were educated in the ‘50s can’t spell worth crap. I know I can’t, and I learned just before she died that my sister couldn’t spell worth crap. Then you add in this tablet likes to put in words it likes instead of maybe what I wanted.
True story. A long time ago they made a program that loaded in above WordStar. ( that was the word processor most of us that programmed used back then). Anyway, as you typed, it would “ look up” the words you typed and if it the word you typed was not in its dictionary, it would “beep”. I was back in my office typing, and my boss stuck his head in the door and asked what I was doing. I explained the report I was writing, and then explained that the program would beep to tell me i misspelled a word. With all the beeping, he thought I was playing Pong or something.
i just found where you can change the colors for the background and lettering! That should make it easier for me to see what I typed. Won’t improve my spelling.
void bubbleSort(int arr[], int n) { int i, j; bool swapped; for (i = 0; i < n-1; i++) { swapped = false; for (j = 0; j < n-i-1; j++) { if (arr[j] > arr[j+1]) { swap(&arr[j], &arr[j+1]); swapped = true;[
} }
Dosent require a lot of spelling (G)

COBOL! I remember that! And some C. I used that also. And 6502 assembler along with IBM 370 BAL. Not many have a clue as to what that means these days.
I won't use a tablet except as an electronic 'book', or electronic paperback... My eyes are a bit older, so I use a desktop. Laptop screens are too small to be comfortable. I find light screen with dark letters, like plain old paper & ink, works better than the reverse. May eat the battery quicker, but at least the edges seem 'crisp'. Not a Wordstar user, but could vi with as much speed as I needed. Never did get interested in cute formatting. Got my BS a year earlier, so know what getting old means. It will not get better. More stuff breaks or doesn't work as well as it used to. Some things REALLY break, and if corrective action is not taken, room temperature awaits. I am in no particular hurry to go there. Vertical and above ground. Two good alternatives... tom

I like the pod filters over the stock ones more. My idea is to get as much air/fuel mixture into the cylinder as possible, as long as it's the right mixture the motor will run but give it more of this mixture it will run with more power.
So if you use a pod style filter, it's inevitable that you'll have to upjet your main. You should notice a snappier throttle response, too, since the air doesn't have to travel thru a system to get to the venturi. I've seen undesirable results using the same filter but adding an intake runner from the carb out to the filter. It slowed the air down before it reached the venturi and didn't atomize the fuel efficiently.
All these things will play a role in air/fuel mixture and be prepared to experience it and learn from it.

Do you remember, how long the intake runner was?

So you're saying that if I choose to run an open filter that it's better to use a runner? I guess a piece of tubing to put a space between the carb and filter? How long to recommend this tube be? or (runner)?

Grumpy,
so so did you have an Altair too? Had a lot of S100 stuff years ago.
about COBOL, back in ‘99, I was “lent out”. Some how it was worth it to have me work on Y2K stuff. At the time I was paid about what it would cost to pay 4 “programmers”. They simply could not find enough people that were experienced in that old code and they had millions of lines to go thru. All that to go from a 6 byte date to an 8 byte date! What made it a bit more of a big deal is many of these guys used a sub to store the date in 3 bytes, and of course another sub to convert them back to 6 bytes. And now we sell games with terabyte drives!

magoconnor it was the intake runner from those Icebear Maddog ruckus clones. I think they are like 10" long. I even played with a smaller 4" one with a 90* bend. naked scoot, I put the 90* at the carb and ran the tube straight up and had the filter sticking up, it looked cool but still hindered performance. jdl357 no I'm saying DON'T use an intake runner, just attach the filter directly to the carburetor.

So you're saying that if I choose to run an open filter that it's better to use a runner? I guess a piece of tubing to put a space between the carb and filter? How long to recommend this tube be? or (runner)? a longer intake track will move you intake closer to a “ram tuneing” length. The “correct” length is determined by your cam timing and the RPM you want the effect. As long as the air filter is at the end, notsomewhere in the middle, it really doesn’t matter what the air cleaner looks like. Also, some fuel gets “blown out” of the carb. If you have more length between the carb and the filter, the engine has a chance to suck that back in on the next stroke. the problem with all this stuff is will it make a measurable change in your preformance. If you had a solid clutch engagement maybe, but the CVT kinda masks those effects, because it’s set up to pretty much keep you at the same RPM.

I'm not quite sure why your intake runner didn't work. But as far as I can read, a cvk carburetor needs a linear air flow for optimal mixing. Here is a calculator to find the perfect length: www.exx.se/techinfo/runners/runners.html#

Think you may have made a typo. Cam duration? I would expect something more like 240 degrees at .04 lift. According to that formula that a runner length of under 2”. That can’t be right.
