[tortuga]

Ive got a carb cover thats intended to cover the intake while fooling around with things with a large air cleaner removed...the stouter the better.

I read about this on one of the hot rod forums some where; run the engine at idle and up to temp, then put the hat over the carb. The vacuum suddenly pulls hard on all those little passages, the idle feeds, transition slots, etc...i thought about it, doesn’t seem like it would hurt anything, did it and the carb seems much happier...downside is whatever little POS was in there just got eaten by the motor...ah hell thats why motors come out.
