Hi all;
I read the results of some research a while ago on air filters (not
necessarily TR-specific). Perhaps it was even on this list, I am not sure.
Anyway, the research results concluded that one cheap, easy and highly
effective
filtering method is to fit a ram pipe with metal kitchen strainer material
over it (like a tea strainer), then a piece of shop-vac foam over that, with
both the strainer material and the foam secured with a jubilee clip. The
steel strainer material stops the foam from being sucked down the ram pipe.
I'm using this on my TR now. I decided to richen the mixture a little due
to the increased air flow. I'm not in a position to tell you if this
filtering method is a success or not; I was just following the recommendation
from
this research. I'll see if I can find where I might have it; can't
remember the source.
