My concern is the lack of power my machine has in the upper half of the
rpm range-it seems to run out of breath at about 4500-5000 rpm... The
air plenum and intake runners were removed and K&N filters substituted.
I been told that those intakes are very important. The higher the rpm
the faster the air flow and consequent effects of turbulence in the
airflow. The lack of restriction might be helpful at low RPM but as the
rpm increases ???
Belts: I ordered the Gates belt only after calling MG Cycle first. They
don't sell them.
Regulator: The same parts store could not get me a Beetle reg. Thanks
to Cookie for verifying that it does work. I'll order it from a VW
specialty house.
I am getting plates for my Eldorado SP next week so I can begin to break
it in.
