I don't use Michelin tires other than the automobile sizes.Haven't followed it lately but,they had an extremely high sidewall failure rate a few years ago. ...
jim black also recommended removing the entire original air intake from the external air intake all the way up to the air cleaner which sits on the carburetor....
Hi Eric... I did remove that 10" cooling tower on my unit and found it did make quite a difference. The thermostat is really slow to react being at the top of...
Eric.... Interesting. I had a K&N air filter, and went back to the other system. The problem with a "non ducted" air system is the top of the engine in these...
Dan ------ good point ----- so you mean you have the Donaldson canister in place, but on the left side it is wide open, instead of being ducted by an air hose...
Hi Eric, Good info,the big canister type filter is a Donaldson.Old bulldozers and such used them. I've had the notion for years that the space this thing takes...
hi jim ------ thanks for all the information -------- so i gather that hot engine air is not as good for carburetion as cold air is? and how would you route...
Hi Eric.... That's correct. The "top" off the air filter means it has a lot more surface area to suck air with less restriction. I removed that little tube...

jim ----- thanks ... also, my donaldson has a rubber nipple on the bottom of it ---- this must be a water drain ------ so i'm tempted to keep it, because...

That's what he told me too about the K and N when I bought #69 from him 2yrs ago. You'll find that he doesn't make changes like that without extensive testing...
Hi Jim --- yes, I think you are right ---- he also said that he was an owner of the fuel injection system (?) for the FMC, and was very familiar also with...

i went to look at the winnebago rialta, which seemed like a nice compact motorhome which anyone can drive. it's about 22 feet and low, built on a vw vanagon...
