I must pass this on, not that I want to----in Mn. we are used to the
temps falling. Since I did the air box thing our temps were down 30
degrees and I noticed a 100 dgree spread in egts. I can only guess it is
because of higher volume of air in carb. Went back to scatt tube and
removed airbox deflector and problem solved. I am still working on it,
when I find the fix I will let you know, and yes I know moving south may
be the answer

Thanks, Dave. As to bringing your motor home, yes, I certainly would.
Only some areas are really bad, but some are OK, as I see some parked
with no problems at all. I have heard that the camping registration
people were taking people out on golf carts to look at potential spots,
but I don't know if that is for sure, or is they are still doing that.
Hope to see you soon.

It just fits around the air filter as shown and fits perfectly on
original air box. The original 4 screws will even work that hold the air
box cover in place. What it does is acts as a spacer to keep the filter
1/2 inch further out. I made this up prior to any flights so I could
document all changes having same flight conditions. It is made from
stock alum. then drilled out to lighten it. Thinking of making it out of
wood because it is not in intake airflow, weight thing. When I did the
filter thing I had no change in egts, egts changed only when I change to
air box inlet tube.
You gotta tell me, will I get stuck with the motor home, or should I
wait and come later in the week

Dave,
I have the photos, but not sure I understand how the 1/2 in
spacer works. Can you explain more and maybe send an additional photo
as to how it moves the filter further away from the firewall? The
rubber tube from air box to carb is understandable, as is the insert to
keep the air from being too turbulent, but just don't understand how you
moved the filter 1/2 in further away from the firewall and still got it
to fit in the air box. Did you modify the air box?
Keep up the good work,
Buz

1/2 inch spacer on air filter that would
keep air filter 1/2 inch further from firefall, went up again
and had wot of
3160. then changed scat tube out for rubber tube from cowl to
air box and
had wot of 3230, but had egts of 1420 and 1160, not willing to
give up rpms
installed a plate in outlet of air box knowing this to be a hit
or miss.
