sandawg Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 (edited) http://www.rc-trucks.org/yamaha-rhino-snorkel.htm I recently attempted to change my intake system to increase the air flow and help with my performance. It didn't work and after finding this article I found out why. It is about the snorkel system but the theory of "vacum signal" explained it all. If I had wanted to spend $403.00 for the Edlebrock carbuetor, developed for the Rhino, I could have left it the way I had it. I just put it back to stock and I was lucky that Checker refunded me the $43.00 fpr the K&N filter I special ordered. We live and learn. The stock carb uses vacum to operate the slider and with no air restriction there is not enough vacum to work. I have talked to a couple of others that have tried to use the snorkel and they weren't happy with that system either. Not to say no intake mods work but mine didn't. I did attempt to re jet it up to compensate but that didn't help either. Edited September 6, 2008 by SANDAWG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
