Webber

as you may of read in 'Smurf' i have a K&N fitted to the original airbox and the problem is that the engine cover just sits on it, enough to push it squiffy..

My question is this...

between the manifold and carb is a spacer about 10mm thickness, does it need to be there?? it might just make the difference as to whetehr the engine cover sits on it or not..



 
Only one way to find out:)
It's probably an insulator block to isolate the carb from the heat of the engine.

mmm, was wondering if that was the case, i was hoping someone could save me the trouble of taking it all apart to investigate myself:)

maybe Tim or Martin will be along with the answer???

OH TIM!!! where are yooooou? :D



 
Yes, it's an isolator, take that off and you get even more fuel evaporation problems [xx(]
Try using trunking and move the filter, like the kit I do ;)

thanks Martin, and good to hear from you...but, does the trunking not attach to the existing air box? so the engine cover would still sit on it anyway?

to clarify, me saying 'airbox'. I mean the flat kidney shaped affair that fits on the carb air intake



 
Just a thought Colin - does the original bend that fitted on the Zenith also fit the Webber. If it does then put it on and have the K&N pointing downwards.

The trunking fits on the air box, so there is no height difference to the origonal carb;)

no mate because if there was i could cut a hole in it...just fresh shiny paint:D even though I have a middle seat my engine cover is standard with the bulge in it...I've seen engine covers with the bulge removed..



 
Sorry Colin, been at the barn all day :p
Make some minor adjustments to the lid, using a big hammer ;)
