Re: [T3] SP-2 air cleaner

Hi Neil,
Thanks for that- I will take a look at it this afternoon.
Do you think it would harm things if the thermostat is toast and I set it to
always draw warm air? It does have the little thin nut so I can adjust it.

I found a Fish carb last weekend and am thinking of giving it a go as I'm
still not happy with the twin carbs performance (mpg) so this may all be
irrelevant, though if I go the single carb route I think I will definitely
need some pre-heating to prevent the carb icing.
I'm looking for something I could cobble together as a manifold for it if
anyones got anything spare- FI manifold and air box, FI air cleaner, single
carb manifold and cleaner? Something b*g?!?
Mfg.
Mark
