It says in the description it will not run a filter...
panty hose and a rubber band
ehhhh say how many pant hos
no air filter just means run a bigger jet. use pantyhose and rubber band like Zeke says, to keep pebbles and sand and crap outta the carb. I've seen plenty of people do it. I ran my Puch without any filter at all for like a year.
run an air filter of some sort just to keep rocks out or chance it and make sure the carb isn't in a spot that rocks get lung at.
wtf on that carb. The right air box will significantly help performance, why on earth would it not be able to mount an air filter/box.
Take some copper pipe and a spring and make an air filter adapter.
putting a restrictive airbox on that natural velocity stack design would decrease performance, not enhance it. you can put the panty hose on either side of the carbwrap the rubber band over pantyhose around the round part at top of the inlet all the way down around the bowl. or try it over the spigot side when you put the hose on. this won't keep your carb clean, but it'll keep crap outta the cylinder. hell, it might even atomize the gas a little more :)
or put a good adhesive on the lip around the inlet, and press a screen filter on it. just get creative. don't let the machine outwit you, man.
thanks everyone
You could go get some fine screen from a hardware store, cut out a little square and mash it down on the end of a baseball bat or something that shape, cut out your newly formed dome of screen, and hose clamp it on.
I will trade you a 15mm sha if you want?
has it been used? cause i this thing has not even been put on
yes it has. maybe I could throw in a few bucks or I got other stuff to trade. I just really wanted one of those carbs and now they are sold out.
i paid like, 80 including shipping, but i'll sell it to you for 65 and whatever it would be to ship. i would trade you, but i just ordered another one last night.
That carb is pretty fucking sexy imho.
the screen shit off a screen window, good airflow and keeps out must everything big enough to tear shit up.
ha fail!
for racerz and proz only yo!
