I have just been reading helmetfires engine woes and noted skywagons comment on what might get sucked through the carbie.
I have just modified my round filter air box. I have a Sutton type exhaust that makes installation of a one piece lower cowl impossible. So I have cut the tube that holds the filter on and welded a thread and nut so it is removable. It works a treat. The nut is a high temp lock nut. I have made provision to lock wire it in place but I am unsure that this is wise as I don't want anything that small or light upstream of the filter that it can get sucked up the throat. Am I being over cautious? I would think a piece of stainless lock wire could do a bit of damage? Or is it near on impossible for the wire to break in a way it could get sucked in?
