Post by: Tbone07 on November 19, 2015, 12:59:46 PM: I think the reason there's that much mud/water in it is because the piston was at TDC when it stopped, so it just ran right in there. Nothing could escape out the drain plug.

When I got it home there was 4" of water in the airbox

Post by: Jerry Hall on November 19, 2015, 02:48:47 PM: Looks like he is mixing mud and water at a ratio of about 20 to 1 or is that some type of family secret blend?

Post by: dem3500 on November 20, 2015, 09:37:56 AM: Ok I just looked and I don't have any pics on my phone. I'm on my way out of town for the weekend. Bug me sun evening and I'll get some pics when I get home. Basically it's just a shop vac hose. The bigger one, 2" iirc. I have a 363 and when I went from an open top aftermarket air box to a closed box with the snorkel and I diddnt even have to change jetting. It flows enough air
