sootman73 Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 I bought a new adapter plate and new two layer foam filter and after having it out both days this weekend i pull the airbox to sync carbs and there's dirt in the carbs again! ugh this is def not gonna work for a weekend at badlands or bundy hill. Any places i need to check for possible air leaks that would let dirt in? This problem is driving me crazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheerider11 Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 What about the boots from the airbox to carb? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sootman73 Posted March 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 I greased the o-ring for the adapter plate but should i be greasing everything? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burt Reynolds Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 (edited) I had a problem with a pro flow style adapter not sealing with the airbox.So i just jb welded the adapter in lol,no more leaks. They are talking about using air filter oil btw,your supposed to oil your filters. Edited March 16, 2012 by Burt Reynolds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blast off Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 I greased the o-ring for the adapter plate but should i be greasing everything? yes you need air filter oil and should be putting a very light coat of oil on the filter to trap the dirt, otherwise the dirt goes right through the foam filter. A K/N filter might also be a better filter but the foam does work when oiled Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sootman73 Posted March 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2012 I completely forgot to oil that filter before running it. I just used 2-stroke oil pretty lightly but just enough to cover all parts of the filter. I'm sure that was my problem but i pulled the adapter off and regreased that o-ring, greased the o-ring that goes in between the carb adapter and airbox. and greased the boots going to the carbs just to be sure. Going to bundy hill tomorrow so we will see exactly how well it helped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soot, oil the filters with foam filter oil and I would also put a prefilter made by K&N over them or it pending on what you have. I am south of hillsdale in camden, youll have to pm me and tell me how bundy hill was, I havnt been there yet but Im planning on going there to try and drag race if there is any there with my quad.
