Question(s) for TheFermanator
Ferm, just a quick question, followed by a comment and maybe another question if I can phrase it correctly. A while back, in a different thread, you made the statement that you shouldn't run an engine with the air box off the front. I have no problem accepting the validity of your statement, because you're a hell of a lot smarter than I about such things. But my question is... why? Specifically, what damage will it do to the engine without it.?
Which brings me to my second statement/question. (And again I admit that I'm a dunce about these things, so I figure that asking you is my safest bet on getting the correct answer) Outboard engines don't have air filters on them, yet they suck in tons of air. Why don't they have some kind of filter? An I/O has a filter on the intake manifold, so why not an outboard? There's no particular reason for me asking these questions other than I'm curious as to the reasons. It's the engineer in me.. I have to/need to know how thihgs work. Thanks
