I promised new engine pictures as soon as I had the new air filters installed:
I looked all over for a set of these that would fit the Weber ICT carburetor, but no vendor in the States carried them... so I ended up buying them directly from the manufacturer, Lynx, in Australia:
so, what's in the box?
mounting the base plate:
the base plate's throat was just a CH too tight, so I broke out the torch and opened it up just a smidge.... thankfully, the plate is a heavy piece of steel...
close up of one mounted:
and the pair....
tightened them up and took the square for a spin -- listening carefully for one of them to fall off (my kinda luck)....
as an unintended consequence, adding more airflow seems to have solved my engine's bucking issue at higher, steady-speed RPM's... so, rather than running lean at higher RPM as was suspected, I was running rich....
anyways -- these seem to be high quality air filters, with a washable/reusable filter element....
I'll put more miles on them and report back.... |

| Looks good. I keep saying I'm gonna do similiar to the Weber 44's (like Critter1 did) but I'd have to change the linkage too and life just seems to keep getting in the way. |

Agree 100%. Those solid bars were designed by dorks, and look like ass. In my humble opinion, of course. :lol: Critter's linkage at least follows the original design to an extent. |

aye -- 'cat hair' will do just fine on this here family-oriented site....
if a bell-crank linkage for Weber ICT's exist, somebody post up the info....
as far as the air filters, they are manufactured by Lynx, in Australia...
the manufacturer's home page:
http://www.lynxcorp.com.au/main.php?idx=home
to shop for Ram Flo air filters:
http://www.lynxcorp.com.au/shopping/default.asp?keywords=ramflo&group=ALL
I worked with a sales rep via e-mail to order mine; if anybody is serious about talking to Lynx as far as purchasing, PM me and I forward the email address.... |
