Default New Chrome Air Filter

I added a chrome cone air filter to my cart. It seems like it helps performance a little. I haven't got a chance to open it up and gps the top speed (clutch has been messed up due to my stupid actions). It definetly makes it lounder due to sucking more air. I would like to combo it with a new exhaust. Is their any problems that could come of not running the stock intake air filter?

cdodd3,

I LIKE it!! You may get deep into a Jetting issue with the carb if you go to changing too much more. The more open element filter you are using my cause your machine to run a little lean, and if you replace the exhaust with an "Open Type" you will REALLY need to re-jet. I am in the process right now on trying to figure out how to jet mine that i got from Steveb. It has a 38mm Mikuni carb and an expansion chamber and muffler off of maybe a dirt bike? I bet it would REALLY scream with that on her, but the jetting is WAY OFF! Running way to rich. I am running stock right now. Mine is also a 2 stroke.

I am going on and on here! But i hope i answered your question. As long as you keep the setup you have now, u should be fine!!

Anyone want to add to this!?! This is my $0.02!! Expect a bill in the mail! I DO take Paypal!!

Jon

Thanks. Most likely I will leave it as is and not get to crazy with it. It is just for the deer lease and the neighborhood.

Sounds good to me... Nice experiment. Did you end up removing the old air filter unit ? Got a new photo ??? Gotta love mods..

Can you provide the purchase info for this air unit & are the replacement filters readily available ? I want it all !!!!
Thanks.. Bill

Hello cdod,

Keep the filter clean and spray it with filteroil.
If you have a good filter, it gives almost no extra wear and some extra performance.
In your case a little quicker response on the pedal because of the shorter distance from filter to engine.
Maybee also a bit at high revs but i'm afraid with your lower revs more noise as power.

EZ Going John,

If your twostroke is a EZGO, your carb could be to big.
A to big carb gives not enough airspeed.
38mm are on 125 cc icc shifter cart raceengines with up to 14.000 revs and 45 HP
They have a very small powerband at high revs, which is not a big problem because of the gearbox.
So definitely not your thing.
(All this as far as i know the EZGO Twostrokers / revs on them)

On my 4 stroke is 30mm / ventury 22mm the max.
Up to aboud 4500 revs it burps and has less power as a 25 /20 mm.
At higher revs 7-9000 a 30 / 22 mm has more.

Without the lotterywinning luck just an exhoust will bring nothing on a twostroke.
Its the combination of carb, engine and exhaust which does it.
A twostroker needs backpressure and a designed form / length of the system for real extra performance.

Benno
