Yes, I've tried the carb metering diaphragm vented to the fuse with a tube. On my 3W-100, it still goes rich in rolling circles and slow point rolls - drives me nuts. I bought a carbon fiber elbow to try out, but haven't put it on yet.
Man, I'm not happy to hear that. I just completed the same procedure on my 80. If it acts the same I'm gonna be way sad
I had a long talk with Jim Cline the other day. I really like that old man. He'll jibber jabber as long as you'll listen, but he makes sense. If running the tube in the fuse doesn't help, he recommended trying the tube at the inlet where the choke is. His first choice though is in the fuse. I couldn't get Gerhardt in time to have him send me one of the intakes. He was out the door to Toledo and couldn't ship. Same iwth Cactus. One way or the other we have to be able to work it out___RIGHT
