Re: engine probs This is what I think they are.  I'm not sure about the bottom one. The best thing to do with that filter is to replace it with a properly designed one from K&N, Pipercross, ITG, Green or similar. The old Speedograph units don't flow and they don't really filter either.

But as far as hoses go, I would join 2 & 3 with a short hose. Then block off 1 & 4.

Re: engine probs Thats a soo-called "economic" carb. Not realy power-friendly...
