Default RE: How sensitive is intake mani length on a little 4 stroke?

Thanks, great ideas there.

Here's an elbow from Clark's. Gives me the right idea.



And here's one from my pile'o'parts bin.



And here's a really very ideal one from that scooterparts link. It appears as if it might actually tuck the carb up behind the jug. And only twenty bucks shipped.





Unfortunately, the last two are 20 to 22mm ID. I suspect (I don't have the engine yet) that the GX35 is 10 to 12mm. Would that be a problem?

And the flange holes are typically 90 degrees "wrong" on these for use with the GX35. They're also pretty unlikely to be spaced appropriately. So I'd be paying for the cast 's' shaped tube section and refabbing appropriate flanges and alum tigging them on.

But these are giving me excellent ideas.

How do Iupload images from my desktop here? I"click here to upload images and files"and browse then upload them and get an OKmessage finally.... but Ican't seem to navigate to them afterward. Where are they located now? On other forums I've generally seen a "place file inline" option to put the uploaded image in the post. Ok, nevermind that... they didn't show in the post "preview" but are now below. How would Imove them from there to the main body of the post?
