Would Uphill intake work?
Discussion
OK so a bit of fun is being had and I'm building a drift trike with a 150cc sumec m150 mower engine.
I've stripped, ported and polished. Lapped in the valves and just about to make the changes to oiling to switch from vertical shaft to horizontal following all the YouTube guides.
This engine through has a strange intake location compared to the briggs and stratton engines.
It's on an angle rather than a straight shot sideways so now the block is vertical the flow will have to kick Upwards going into the block.
The question I have will this bugger my fueling? I'm rotating the carb so it's the right way up so that's not a problem.
Cheers for any advice from anyone with a better understanding of how this will effect things.
