Air filters
Posted: 08 Jul 2013 07:45
Hello folks,
Could not get the rear cylinder to run weak enough on idle, 43 pilots, even tried 40's, removed the air filters and fitted the empty air filter box, what a difference!, much better. The plugs were sooty/black before, the rear one especially.
The filters look brand new though, so here's my question, are they known for being rather restrictive, or are mine simply contaminated?. They are the correct orange/brown ones. I don't really want to run without air filters so a new set will be ordered anyhow. I checked the carb sync after removing the air filters and had to re adjust the rear carb.
Thanks,
Alan.
