Once again, Stan, thanks for your input. I don't expect you to drop what you're doing when you're making a living, my friend.
Weber Jet Doctors don't really require a commitment like Dells. That's new information to me.
I knew the problem was the only thing I had changed. I'm going to measure the height difference of the turbo hats versus the regular open air cleaners. That's why I got shorter velocity stacks in the first place, to give enough room above. If the CB turbo hats were the same height, then no problem.
I'd really like to keep them because of the intake noise reduction(very important in a Spyder with gill vents a la 550a) and I believe it adds a bit of backfire/carb fire resistance as there is nothing but metal around the carb throats.
I can't see spending that coin either. I'm actually thinking of making some glass molds of my hats but taller. We'll see. It isn't a whole lot in materials and vacuum bagging some hats would be fairly easy.
