Cone filter for B14?

Post by CBA »

Is there a cheap filter that's an easy fit for the b14 carb? I hate the restrictive airbox, so long as I plumb in the breather hoses to the new filter will I still get the same economy, or will there be a gain or loss of mpg? - what about tuning the carb for the new less restricted airflow, I read the mixture is set and locked, do I need to "break in" to the carb to set it up? - will it mess up the vacuum/renix operation?...

Just want a bit of oldschool throaty noise, pondering about the exhaust too... silencer bypass!.. maybe not, dig out one baffle from the backbox... something like that -


I'm sure with the right tuning/driving this should give me better economy, and a few extra horses when giving it the beans too, just want to know if theres anything that will/can go wrong and how to get round the annoying things.

Yes, please.

I got rid of the flat spot by putting the bits back, now just a loose airbox to deal with, Silicone sealant, bolts and double nylon locknuts = it WILL stay on :!:
