Air Maze Air Filter on Zenith Carb Question ’ve used the Air Maze filter for almost 30 years - recently replaced the ‘screen’ filter element for a real paper air filter. The rebuilt engine was installed in March, carb rebuilt a couple of months ago - engine runs very well. I can turn the GAV off and the engine begins to stumble, so I believe at 1/4 turn of the GAV out, the engine is getting a pretty reasonable mix of gas/air.
However, I changed spark plugs a couple days ago - swapped some Motorcraft pugs from Bratton’s (since March) for a set of Champion 3Xs and noticed that the Motorcraft plugs had quite a bit of carbon on them, I wondered if the air filter was making the fuel mix too rich. I;ve read about this, and wonder if I need to do something to the Zenith carb to compensate for the air filter. thoughts ?? thanks - Jim |
Re: Air Maze Air Filter on Zenith Carb Question Get rid of the paper element and put the screen back on. The paper element is a fire hazard. If it worked for 30 years why change it?

Re: Air Maze Air Filter on Zenith Carb Question I agree, if you run an air-maze the use the wire screen DO NOT USE PAPER

Re: Air Maze Air Filter on Zenith Carb Question Or use a High Boy adapter with a K and N filter. If you do not care about looks, or are a purist, is an option

Re: Air Maze Air Filter on Zenith Carb Question I've used an AirMaze for years. Plugs look great. I use a fiber mesh filter over the top of the AirMaze and use oil on the screen. I use about 1/4 turn GAV except when highway cruising. Then its maybe 1/8 open or less.

Re: Air Maze Air Filter on Zenith Carb Question Anything you put at the inlet of the carburetor is going to reduce the inlet air flow, and reduce engine power.

Ours has been on for over 40 years. No problems. 1/4 turn is also really good sign. Enjoy. |
