 Re: Lou noise at flat out
Check that your air-filter cover is screwed on properly.

 Re: Lou noise at flat out
Check over all of the exhaust joints - if you cup your hand around the joint, you'll feel a blow.
It's well worth having a good look all over, too, first thing on a cold morning, since you might well see any exhaust gases.
A trick I've used in the past is to dribble a little engine oil down the carb throat with the engine running. Again, it makes the exhaust very visible, so you'll see if the gases are escaping. It takes a little while to work fully, because the oil tends to sit in the inlet manifold for a bit. We did that to Jono's car at the French Nat'l this year - nothing visible at first, but we found and sorted the blow fairly quickly. Then, later, when they went into town... Smokescreen!

 Re: Lou noise at flat out
if you had a backfire at some point in the latest round of calamity then check the heater tubes/balance pipe that run from the exhaust manifold stub to the carb
also the cross box , spigots swan neck etc

 Re: Lou noise at flat out
If it;s just when you're flat out, then in my experience you're air filter is popping up. I've seen cars with threaded rod through the entire assembly to keep it down.

 Re: Lou noise at flat out
It's worth looking at the swan neck, too. Ellie's car had a pinhole in the swan neck, where the clamp had chafed through. Quiet, until you hit the second choke.
