It will explode the gear in the engine taking out other stuff with it.

How's about a intake tube test between the carb housing and filter, it would straiten the airflow before it hits the carb

Will hit the plumbing store tomorrow to see what I can make for a getto adapter. Mount the Kawasaki filter right on the end of the carb.

It should increase low end torque and make low to high speed transition smoother but hopefully doesn't mess with the flames shooting out of the exhaust that was awesome! Lol *edit* diameter matters, about the same size as carb/filter will produce the best all around results.

Making progress on the weight loss program. Still going to out weigh Diesel Eater by a sold 75+ pounds. But I think i can still get it down another 20 pounds or so.

The choice was made to make the engine bay fit 22 inches when done. A bit weird when in the past I quoted a Duramax engine size of 19 inch. But if in the future the possibility of scaring myself needs to be increased. I now have room to fit a Kohler or briggs twin up to 27hp.

I'll need to make something very strong like that tie rod but i will also try a radically different steering system just to see if it will work.

I'm thinking of doing a similar setup on my mower too...

Also: that tractor would look AMAZING in metallic grey
