Post by jeromegreenday »

Hi Guys,

I need an air filter for my 34 ADF. I can easily get a rectangular 55mm high one, I just wondered as the 34 adf is quite a performance carb I'd like a 75mm high air filter. Has anyone used one and is the enough clearance between the carb and the hood?
Many thanks

Can't say for sure. But you could cut a block of wood 90mm long, lay it on the carb, gently close the hood and see if the hood hits the block. If it does, take 5mm off the block and try again. And another 5mm and so on until you think the hood isn't hitting the wood.
