there is a discussion about your post on the morris forum feel free to check it out.
it's not so much your idea's on cooling thay are valid, but your interpretation of fuel and air behaviour is #OOPS#.

i could do a 1/2 page on your errors but i would hate to offended you with all my spelling mistakes. best you investegate how fuel vaporizes(-atomizes:)as it enters the engine and can infact do a 90deg turn without a heated manifold, as thay are for EMISSIONS

Well don't be shy, send me your half page of corrections as an e-mail & feel free to leave a link to the Morris website as I would dearly love to see what is being written behind my back.

I guess that in 45 years as a motor mechanic & 31 years as a small Datsun owner/maintainer/modifier I have obviously learned nothing but am ever willing to learn from those better versed than I.

I learned my trade in the '60's when many of our cars were years away from being manufactured & EFI was but a dream, yet problems with fuel vaporisation were well known & had been for at least six decades before that.

Even now this very subject is being discussed in the current edition of "Flight Safety Australia" [May-June 2011, issue 80] the aviation industry publication on air safety & aircraft maintainance.

Try page 24, the article is called "A Chill in the Air" & it deals principally with carburettor ice & its causes. It also describes the conditions that I described in my post. The aviation solution to this problem is "carburettor heat" where hot air is fed to the inlet of the carb while the automotive industry went for "hot spot" manifold heat, which was replaced by water heating of the inlet manifold, then hot air induction was added to make a near perfect package.

Perhaps you & your fellow forumites should do a little research before dumping on me or anyone else who has a better understanding of physics than you do.

Remember, if you're talking about me behind my back, you are close enough to kiss my [censored]
