Does it look like this will increase performance much?

 

[cabinfever1977]

no it wont increase performance any,all stock aircleaners get clogged with gas/oil and need to be clean alot.i reccomend a performance aircleaner,one that has the air filter part atleast 2" from carb opening.
i have a rubber boot hose on the end of the carb running to a 6" pipe and thin airfilter on the end of that,now no more clogged aircleaners and it quiets the engine and i gained 5mph.

 

[senorpyz]

could you point me toward a good airfilter

 

[cabinfever1977]

one that looks like these,but i forget who sells them.

 

[senorpyz]

is that a whole new carburetor or is it just an air filter put on the stock carburetor?

Man, I wish I had that kind of clearance on the back end of the carb!!

 

[cabinfever1977]

they make a aircleaner for the stock carb (k/N) and they make a high performance carb that comes with a airfilter (sbp).
if you dont have clearance,you can take a rubber boot(from bike shock)or hose and run that to a pipe or airbox(plastic box or cup with lid) and attach filter to the end of that.

measure your carb and go to a auto parts store and find a k/n airfilter or other one that matches the size of the carb take a tape measure with you, a couple of screws or hose clamp will hold it on carb.

K&N air filter. The model number is RC-2550

 

[senorpyz]

is the k&n filter you mentioned the one you used with the default carburetor?

 

[cabinfever1977]

i didnt but someone else did and he used that model and 2 screws to hold it on the stock carb.

i have a rubber boot on the end of the carb and tape to a 6" aluminum pipe with no filter.
