 Inlet manifold & hot water's exit ( from cylinder head ) are in the same
aluminium block, so inlet manifold cannot be cool : after engine warms
up, intake air & fuel get too hot, i.e. cannot expand much when ignited,
torque slowly drops as engine warms up.
 Hot water piped out from bottom of carburetor gets piped straight back
into cylinder head, so cylinder head gets too hot.  This hot water should
be piped into radiator to be cooled 1st.  Users with infra red thermo
meter / camera can easily see, those w-o can use their fingers to feel,
that this pipe is far hotter than the rubber hose with cooled water from
radiator.
 Even in a cool ambient air of 27°C ( let alone in hotter weather ), non-
believers can glue a few heatsinks onto this pipe, then [i] see ( per gauge
) how much slower the water ( leaving cylinder head ) temperature will
rise, & to a lower maximum  [ii] feel how much torque rises @ once.
 Air intake should be as cool as possible www.circletrack.com/techarticles/1822/
i.e. must not be piped near the hottest parts of engine: e.g. Honda F20A,
Toyota 4A-F 1600E, & Lotus campro correctly have their air intake
piped away from *exhaust manifold & rocker cover.  4G15P has air
piped over * in a black ( this colour absorbs the most heat ) plastic pipe,
its underside ( facing * ) gets very hot.  If user paints this underside to
white / silver, or insulate it against heat from * using e.g. polystyrene,
air intake pipe will be less hot.

Horah! It's the Mal-asian trol.... Pulled your head out of your a.s just
long enough to send us a new message I see.

"intake air & fuel get too hot, i.e. cannot expand much when ignited, torque

You are some special kind of dumbass. Well it's that or the laws of physics
do not apply in Mal-asia.

Why don't you sell your crappy old car and move on?  Could it be that you
find joy and purpose in finding fault with your car?
I have concluded that you really enjoy this otherwise you would donate your
Mitsu to your village for use generating electrical power.
(the Oxen are growing tired.)

Perhaps if Mal-asia complied with the treaties it has signed and reduced
it's tarrif on imported autos you could buy a modern vehicle.
Better yet would be Mal-asia developing to the point where autos could be
produced domestically!!!
Life in the 3rd world must suck, eh?
