my motor's a skyhawk 2 stroke, the gt style that comes w/ reed valve (though I haven't taken in the piston skirt yet, so I dunno if the reed does me any good). I'm thinking to use a plastic cup from gas station or the plastic shade off an old florescent light to make a ram air scoop & filter. its shape will scoop air as I move forward & push it in thru the filter & into the carb thru thick rubber hose. hopefully it'll give me a little boost at speeds 20-40mph. For the actual filtering, I'm probably going to use nylons from Target wrapped around w/e object, since I need to replace the air filter I lost
anybody tried anything like this before?
I'm thinking I should make sure not to run lean/run it flat out WOT for too long & overheat the internals. also, it should increase compression a little, right? at speeds up to 40mph, do I need to worry about boosting compression too much or will it probably be within the safe-enough mod zone?
