Flame arrestor mesh
#7
Gonna do my damnedest! Did you dyno the engines with or without these air cleaners Matt? When I took it out in November, 1 engine had left lots of black soot on the transom and my wife could smell fuel when running upper RPM. Im gonna atribute that to a clogged air bleed. Its happened to me before. It should have run on the lean side in 55 Degree weather, no? But you said it was set up to run fat, So I want to lean her out a bit......just alittle. I think the mesh will help get them heavy hitters some more air! Any recommendation on jetting down alittle?

You can make your own, be carefull and just a few wraps or you will restrict airflow.
Just dynoed a motor and lost 25 hp with a homemade screen, like 3 wraps and didnt appear restrictive to the eye
