My original air cleaner post exposed a lot of interesting information and the fact that we are having fun with this old technology. I wonder if our grandchildren will tinker with the new technology. Maybe some can, but it's totally over my head.
Recently one of my friends bought a new Ferrari Roma. The day after taking delivery we insisted that he bring it over for us all to see. Naturally we wanted to see the engine. After a few minutes he conceded that he didn't know how to pop the hood. He didn't have the manual with him.
My original post asked about running Webers without air cleaners. Inversion etc. came into the discussion.
So.....how much damage can I cause the motor by not using any air cleaner? Weber air cleaners look terrible. I've been doing it on and off for years, sometimes I run a 4brl Holly to clean the carbs. It runs perfect and blows no smoke. The motor was rebuilt for less HP to make it less angry about 5000 miles ago. Now it has 27000 total miles on it.
It's interesting how different the motor sounds when using the Holly. The motor has a mild lope with Holly, but not with Webers.
