I could always tell if someone's exhaust clamp was leaking when I was rebuilding carburetors, the entire choke area would be thick soot black.

Crazy how it was even running on some of them trying to run on already used air from the exhaust.

I did know a guy once that took a vintage beep horn bell and attach it to the carburetor thinking it was going to create a ram air effect.

Seems like it would work.... but a little research in to the the Bernoulli principles and you'll see that the horn facing forward is a bad idea...

Needless to say the engine ran poorly.
