Abstract
An intake assembly of the present invention delivers air to a carburetor of an internal combustion engine. The assembly includes a housing mountable on the carburetor and which encloses an air filter. A first port is formed within a wall of the housing to permit fluid communication between the housing and the carburetor. The first port is positioned between the air filter and the carburetor. A second port is formed in a wall of the housing to permit air to enter the housing. The second port is positioned relative to the air filter on a side opposite from the first port. A valve assembly is pivotably mounted within the second port such that the valve assembly is positionable to control an air flow through the second port. Means are provided for controlling the pivoting of the valve assembly.
