Air cleaner questions
Wo what is the purpose of the tubing that goes from the thermal reactor to the air cleaner. Is that something that just gets deleted with an emissions delete or something? Also what is the purpose of the little door that is in the snorkel my dad seems to think that the door closing could be a reason for my sputtering and stalling issue.

The tubing from the thermal reactor to the air cleaner helps to draw warm air into your carburetor. Very useful on cold days to prevent your carb from freezing up .. especially in Michigan winters.
The door or flap in the snorkel opens and closes to direct warm air (from the thermal reactor) or cold air (ambient temperature) into your Nikki.

The system is designed to do both functions, and there really isn't a huge gain from deleting it.

You can try disconnecting the pipe and wiring open the flapper door. If you don't notice any improvement in stuttering or stalling, then just reverse procedures and put it back to stock.

It just helps on cold days to feed warm air into the carb, that being said that thermal reactor takes a good 2-3 mins to get hot , it is also not a sealed line, it sucks in ambient air that gets warmed up by the reactor, any generic tube will work . IMO it's a usless part unless you live in bellow freezing areas..
FYI our studdering is caused by either a vac leak, uneven fule delivery / ignition .
