My air filter took a beating this year with mud and water constantly being thrown right into it. Even with the pre-filter on it i was sucking up water and mud. I want to relocate the air filter to on top of the motor i came up with this today as a prototype. Anyone done it or have a good reason why i shouldnt do it? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

In all seriousness, how in the hell are you kicking up that kind of mud and water to get in air filter? I have never had anything close to getting plugged up on my filters. I did however go with a "flower pot" style air filter and it acted as a guard, rain shield, etc. This is an old pic, but worked very well. Drilled a small hole in the housing at the bottom. That way any sideways rain that got inside, would have a place to drain. IMG_2883.JPG |

I like that flower pot though. Did you fabricate that yourself? And is it actually a flower pot? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Crankcase vent filter. My air filter adapter for my mikuni didn't have a threaded port for the vent to tie into, so I put a filter on it. This pic was from prob 2008. Lots use to run em like that. I think now, all vent's tie back into suction side of carb. |

No, had a k&N and took it off to put this on for rain protection. Used one on my kawasaki build recently also. |

Oh, back in the day some had issues with their mikuni rubber boots tearing and the damn carb falling off. I took the origional briggs carb screws and some aluminum scrap plate. I made it so that the I could "sandwich" the carb bewteen the plates thus taking the stress off the rubber boot. Worked great. IMG_2404.JPG IMG_2403.JPG |
