eRod runs better without the MAF - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I was having trouble with my new eRod running very lean at idle (> 18:1 AFR). On a hunch I unplugged the MAF and sure enough, it now hovers right around 14.7:1.

My MAF sensor is in about the middle of the pipe in the picture. I can't imagine this pipe is too "bendy" for the MAF, but it doesn't run well at all with it connected.

So, any suggestions on how to improve the air inlet?

Or should I just leave the MAF off and run in speed density? I'd prefer to have the MAF operational, but right now it only makes things worse!

Any ideas?
