safari snorkle problems

(1/6) > >>

andygod:
I have a 3.5 efi v8 fitted with a safari snorkel; if I try to drive with the air scoop pointing forwards the vehicle cuts out. The engine is fine with the forward facing scoop when the vehicle is stationary. Because of this I reasoned that the scoop was having a ram air effect and pushing extra air past the airflow metre. The simple answer was to reverse the scoop so this I did and things have been fine for a while. The other day whilst laning in Wales we had high winds blowing from behind which had the same effect on the snorkel. This resulted in me having to disconnect the snorkel in order to get the engine to run properly. Does anybody else have any experience of this problem and any fixes? Will a mushroom top fit a Safari snorkel?

All I do is remove the airbox front cover when there is no water about.

You're not running on LPG are you?  That would have this effect.
