Re: Effect of humidity and air temperature on carb performance
No Paul, it was from the German outfit http://www.lambretta-teile.de/. If you filter is getting soaked with petrol then it might be that the petrol is evaporating and leaving the 2 stroke ol in the element and blocking the air flow. This would be a gradual process I would guess. Have you tried clean...
