    Default lean condition with air filters on???

    Have my motor on the dyno and it was running rich. We put the air filters on and it went way lean 15:1 and climbing from a steady 11:1 before the filters/spark arrestors. blower motor 850 demon blower carbs. basicly we cut the tops off the spark arresters and now it about a two inch volocity stack that goes to a flat piece of aluminum plate that the scoop mounts to and it is lean. if I take the scoop mount off it goes back to rich. Any ideas???????

    It's obviously interfearing with the air signal to the carb, probably over the airbleeds.
    In the madness of this world, know the Peace of God.

    Or something is too close to the top of the bowl vents. You need at least 3/4 clearance over the bowl vents.

    Well the problem was the j bowl vents on the carbs. trimmed them like a street carb and lean condition gone. Thanks for the advise.

    Carburators suck! Literally. Never fall for that BS that the engine is what sucks, or its really atmospheric pressure pushing in. Its the carbs. THEY SUCK!
