I haven't gotten around to making the brackets that hold the inlet pipe to the exhaust pipe on our SC. A couple of years ago, the kids forgot to pull it into the tractor port. It rained, and then, being Ohio in December, the weather got pretty cold pretty fast. When I started the SC to put it away, it had no power at all. After a few minutes of tinkering, I noticed that she'd speed up a little if I played with the hose connecting the carburetor inlet to the air filter canister (the mis-aligned thing that Mike posted... ;-) ). I pulled the bottom off, and not only was there a chunk of ice in there with the oil, there was a nice chunk in the canister. Little by little, as I chipped the ice away, she picked up power as more air was able to get into the engine. I looked, and sure enough...water running off the hood would drip right into the top of the canister...almost like it was designed that way!
