[QUOTE="El-Anders, post: 138984, member: 4086"] Yeah. I was putting all my efforts on sealing everything. I might have been lucky, and maybe the 2 adapters under the carb is speeding things up, just what I hoped for. Also the VW runners going down from 34mm to 29mm is speeding it up too? Well, I need to fix a throttle hook up, and the air filter, and then ride it for a while. After that start fiddling with heat. I was thinking of going to a friend with a TIG, ask him to weld a "bottom" to the VW plenum, with 2 fittings. I'm thinking oil, it looks like an easy way to mount an oil cooler adapter plate at the oil filter, run 2 hoses to the plenum. Of course it has to be high quality hoses and fittings, you don't want to get your shoes, and engine ruined by a sudden oil leak. Also I have 2 sets of handle bar heaters to add optional heat to the runners, (6,50 each from China) but I don't know yet how much power they draw from the system. They could be like something you turn on if you are stuck on a red light, or something, if the alternator cant handle it continuously. Its cold in Georgia, and I have to work like crazy to start school buses 5 o'clock in the mornings, so this project has to be on idle for a couple of weeks. [/QUOTE]
