Skimmer mod???

I think that honing out the airway would allow the creation of larger air bubbles, which would make the skimmer less efficient since skimmers work really well when mixing really small bubbles in the skimmer chambers.

Do you have a mesh mod or anything on the skimmer? If so the mesh mod would chop up the bubbles so that they are nice and small. I still have a hard time thinking that it would add enough benefit to be worth the risk.

Now that I re-read my thread I realize I wasn't very clear. I was referring to the risk of honing out the air inlet. If something goes strange there is a risk of breaking the air inlets and pieces surrounding it.

I am a huge fan of the mesh mod. I was trying to provide low cost alternatives that provide performance gains as an alternative to honing out the air inlet. Hopefully that helps clear up my original post.

You can bore it out just go up one size on the drill bit but as mentioned go slow it can twist the air inlet right off.
There are a couple other ways you can make a newer much more efficient venturi as well.

I'm all ears... teach me!!!

I was afraid of that! Any suggestions on a pump that can be mesh modded?
