Sounds good Frosties. 8)
Quote:I'd bet that the patch with the paint stripped off was facing the carbs when you took the filter out?. It's going to be inclined to draw the air through from the closest point isn't it and maybe that's what has over time pulled the paint off. It'd just go through the engine and out down the exhaust without any real issues wouldn't it?.It’s off front and back and a little at the sides. Probably coming on 40% of the paint is missing – though that is after I attacked it with the veggie brush.
It’s gotta go through my lovely Ivanised carbs before it can be processed by the engine. The paint shows no sign of breaking up in petrol. So I’m just thinking it could potentially maybe block a jet at some point – I think I’ve been lucky.
No I’m not sure why it’s painted, if they used stainless or some other suitable alternative there would be no need for paint.
Hopefully my paper one might arrive tomorrow.
