Cold Air Iduction for a carby engine, What a great Idea. A carby is a very rudimentry fuel metering device, however when tuning carby fed engines we still use an exhaust sniffer to read No2, Co2, and Oxygen content, This will tell us whether the engine is running rich or lean, and whether it is burning oil.
A cold air induction system will feed cooler air to the carby, this cooler air is a little more dense, however the carby will 'sense this cooler aior and add a touch more fuel. Take a carby car for a run in the middle of the day, and do the same run at 2.00am, you may feel a slight increase in power.
Yes cold air induction will work, any engine will appreciate a dose of cold air rather than that horrible warm stuff from around the engine bay.
Soo a slight tuning adjustment may be required, but I seriously doubt it.
