Please help I fitted a snorkel that I was running on my old Sierra to my new coily same style set up anyway it's not letting the engine suck in enough air what could I do to get more air

[alexvitara]

where is it being restricted?

[redrocketsj50]

It seems to be where the snorkel goes into the air box there is none of that vacuum shit there I blocked it all off

Pics?

Photobucket won't work on my phone , would the air pipe from the hat going to the air box be affected if the bow or curve in the pipe sat higher than the carby hat ?

[sogone]

Not at all. With my body lift I had to modify the hat so it was almost a 180 degree bend from carby hat to air box.

[redrocketsj50]

I have flexy piping from the hat to the box frOm the hat so it doesn't matter if that's higher in any spots

[sogone]

Nope.

What makes you think that it is sucking enough air?

Are you having problems with how the car runs? Like revs dieing down.. Car not starting??

[Lockie666]

Can you take a pic please????

[atari4x4]

have you check to see if anything was blocking the snorkel or if there are any kinks in the flexy hose.

as lockie said... pics.

Put a peice of paper in front of the head. If it sucks to it then its fine.

Haha sorry guy I think I found the problem it's my carby being gay the jets keep blocking i used the back fire trick it worked for a bit I Also used carby cleaner which worked well what else works ?

[Built4thrashing]

carby shops work well with that problem.

This cold weather and high speeds can freeze the carby jets.
I had to run my Sierra with snorkle turned off,
thus sucking warm air from under bonnet,
when weather was this cold.
Stopping for a minute,
heat from donk would rise and melt blockage,
then off I went.
