Inlets ? at carbs top cover

[mrbarth]

Hello again,<br /><br />on this 90HP 1991 OMC I have these 2 inlets,<br />the one "hole" on port,<br /><br />

<br /><br /> the 2 hole on starboard.<br />

<br /><br />The pictures from the seloc manual and the unused threaded holes indicates that something was removed here ? Are their "air" filters missing ? Do I have to find replacements ore can I run the engine this way ?<br /><br />Thanks again, you are helping me much.

It's missing the inlet exstension, I don't see where it would hurt anything. It would just look better if it was back on. I would think someone should have noticed quite a large part left over.

Thanks R.Johnson,<br /><br />so there are no filters or so in those extension, preventing dirt from entering the carbs ? Something like the air filter in a car engine ?

No! it is a full open exstension, no filter.

Strange, now that you mention it, everytime it gets so dusty my GPS says Sierra Nevada or my depth gauge is negative <br /><br /><br />Thanks again. I'll see if I can get those extension at a used engine dealer, just for the looks.<br /><br />My questions is answered guys, thanks again<br />(Not that I don't have others <br />still to come)
