Good evening gentlemen, I have been doing a lot of research on this great forum and I am having a hard time finding a "clear" answer (if there is one). I have a 2010 170 and I am wanting to do some DIY upgrades with my boys on Christmas. I want to snorkel the intake to get rid of the under the rear deck air box. No my machine did not get the recall install. Not for racing or making a rocket ship out of this thing. I live in central Fl. so our elevation is zero. I know a lot of other factors go into jetting, other mods, type of materiel used for intake, exhaust ect. Other than this mod the machine is stock. My plan was to either use 1 1/2 inch PVC, or the chrome sink pipe I saw on another thread, with the K&N filter coming up through the access panel.
So my question is. Is this something I should attempt on Christmas day? I really do not want to install the upgrade than have it run like crap. Or can I purchase a few different jets and try them to see which ones work best? If so where should I start?
FUTV makes this sound real easy. Install the pipe insert jets and off you go. But then there are multiple discussion about multiple different jets. I am pretty handy with small engines, and I know how finicky carbs can be. Any suggestions would be great. If it is easy as trying a few different jets no worries. If I try a few jets and it still does not work, not a good Christmas.
Thanks in advance for any advice D.
