Hi Richard,
I have often wondered about this.
I thought the objective of connecting the carb air supply to the
radiator cowl was to create a ram induction affect -- turbo sort of.
If that is true, wouldn't it increase the ram affect to keep the air
filter back at the carbs rather than out front at the radiator cowl? It
would seem that air filter out front would decrease the ram affect. It
would seem that even at the radiator cowl, you would want to mount some
kind of funnel shape.
Always wondered but was afraid to ask...
