Description & Operation: Notes

The thermostatic air cleaner/heated air intake system is designed to maintain the air temperature entering the carburetor at a constant temperature. This is done by blending heated (manifold) and ambient (outside) air.

A temperature-sensitive bimetal valve (temperature sensor) controls a flap valve which regulates the amount of air entering from the hot and cold air inlets, thereby maintaining the correct air temperature of 99°F (37°C) under all operating conditions.
