KR> Latest intake manifold experiment

[John C Edwards]

I have an old 1835 Hapi engine and was having problems with uneven fuel 
distribution to different cylinders as indicated by hot and cold egt 
readings. I made a scaled down Cyclone Vortec generator of my own since 
the one theirs(Cyclone Vortec) was too big to fit in my VW intake 
manifold. It evened out the egt readings and cured the sometimes 
sputtering problem that i had,, if the mixture wasn't set just right. I 
can now run a leaner(as set by my air/fuel ratio gauge) and cooler egt's 
than before without the cyclone device. My kr-1 is now much happier with 
my Hapi engine!

KR> Latest intake manifold experiment

Yes, if you have a carb with a choke on it, I would not use a primer either. I 
have an Ellison and therefore must have a primer, or it won't start.

I removed my primer as I was only using the choke to start.

I removed my primer as I was only using the choke to start. I found that I was 
flooding the situation with the primer. I found gas dripping from the carb 
intake when another "ramp rat" pointed it out. This on a HAPI 1835 with the GP 
carb.

Well, my latest folly with intake manifolds failed miserably.  It started 
quite easily, but refused to increase power past 2000 RPM.  So, I'll chuck 
that wad of cash in the trash and try something else.  But, I did find out 
that you can start your VW engine quite easily with the primer going to only 
one of the intakes at the head.  So, I would assume that the same would be 
true for the Corvair.
