Putting on a new carb and I found this in the intake manifold,it looks like a useless obstruction to me,am I correct?

If it runs good without it, I would say you are correct.

If it is there its for good reason. Leave it.

I'm looking for an answer from someone who knows.

That's just it,I'm starting to reassemble and if it does nothing for performance I want to leave it out,but I don't want to experiment.

Ok,never mind,I figured out what it's purpose is....and left it out.

This is found in strato saws and its purpose is to direct the airflow towards either the fuel or scavenge port on the intake.

Yeah, but he can probably spell STIJHL though.

I dunno...he's a pretty "red, white and blue " guy. Don't think his phone has those funny looking letters in it.

It’s to keep the fuel separate from the fresh air ducts in the motor. It’ll probably run ok without it at the expense of burning more fuel

Stihl is notorious for adding extra parts to saws that are not needed as Mr. Stihl has to somehow reduce his net profit for tax reasons.
They are included so that the layman can modify and claim they are a saw builder.

Im thinking EPA has a big influence on all that.

Definitely a part off an airplane.
