AIR INLET AND EXHAUST SYSTEM
RESTRICTION OF AIR INLET AND EXHAUST
There will be a reduction of horsepower and
efficiency of the engine if there is a restriction in the air
inlet or exhaust system.
Air flow through the air cleaner must not have a
restriction (negative pressure difference measurement
between atmospheric air and air that has gone through
air cleaner) of more than 762 mm (30 in.) of water.
Back pressure from the exhaust (pressure
difference measurement between exhaust at outlet
elbow and atmospheric air) must not be more than 686

making a comparison of the pressure in the inlet
manifold with the information given in the FUEL

test is used when there is a decrease of horsepower
from the engine, yet there is no real sign of a problem
with the engine.
The correct pressure for the inlet manifold is
given in the FUEL SETTING AND RELATED

is done with these conditions:

pressure (dry).
29 C (850 F) outside air temperature.
b.
