John,
I do not have a snorkel but some knowledge of aerodynamic behavior tells me
that if the snorkel mouth was reversed then it would be in an area of
reduced air pressure and would tend to have a detrimental effect on
performance if the mouth faced forward then it would be in an area of
increased pressure and would provide the combustion with more O2 and
theoretically more power, in effect a ram.

Subject: Re: [ELCO] Snorkle [ foam air filter]
Hi Guys
Just while on the subject of the snorkle, If it is turned backwards will the
air flow into the engine be reduced , cause you always see them pointed
forward, but this is also the angle that the dirt comes from , would it make
sence to turn it the other way and reduce the dirt inhaled.
Are the reusable foam air filters better than the paper ones. Does any one
know of a good place to buy these, I tried Amsoil but they only do one for
the petrol 80 some thing to do with being an amarican oil company.
Thanks
