The air compressor on my shadow 2 has stoped working. Im thinking of removing the hole emision control system. Has anyone done this? What do I need to do? | ||

You can disconnect the belt on the air pump and leave it at that unless your motor registry prohibits it. It looks ugly, so it is nice to remove and blank off the plumbing and the pump itself if you can be bothered. Again, subject to local regulations, you can go much further, increasing power, driveability and fuel economy as a side benefit. In fact, the ACT authorities quietly encourage that. Then again, if you have a Silver Shadow II with 7.3:1 compression it will not resopond as well as an 8:1, or especially the gutsy earlier 9:1 6750cc cars with the bigger SUs. The very late carburettor cars became quite sick from all the restrictions. RT. | ||
