Default Re: My new Air Filter issue

If I remember I got it on line at Auto Zone. The K&N part number is E-2040 and is 6.625 inches long. They make two progressively shorter units is you have a clearance problem. Mine just fits under the Gas bowl. I wanted the overkill.

I am new to the A and have rebuilt and bought a rebuilt carb from a reputable source recommended on this site. I had to send it back because of leaking. The tank is clean and I have a filter in the bowl and one in line so I know it is not particles in the fuel. The one that I rebuilt so far works the best and does not leak after setting the float just aft of parallel to the carb top. I also used the Viton valve which I had to go through two of them before I got one good one. I finally rebuilt a Tilitson and even had to work to keep it from leaking. Any more leaking and I am going to put an XR-1 blower on the darn thing. Well maybe not a good idea. The blower is larger than the engine.

I am not comfortable putting the filter below the carb because of it's inherent design.
