Standard weber air fliter

Recommended Posts

Guys I just want to dress up a standard 4.1 engine a bit.

My young bloke just got his P's and wants to bling it up.

The old 4.1 Xe is pretty much stock with the standard A.D.M 34 carb.

 

There doesn't seem to many aftermarket chrome filters around for them.

The weber ram dome type with mesh cover ?

Or is there another flat top chrome type out there ?

This forums good mates at "Engine Masters" have one listed on their Ebay store.

But they can shove it.

Just be aware that the foam filters in those ramflo filters can be a bit iffy when you live in a dusty environment. Also the foam can becomes brittle with age which causes them to breakup and either let more contaminants in or some of the filter material be pulled into the engine.

I had a ramflo filter on a weber carby I bought for my datto (second hand carby that came with the ramflo filter), every time I touched the filter it would crumble and I noticed a dust film inside the carby when I replaced the filter after a while.

I was told not to oil the foam, cant remember exactly why pretty sure it was to do with how the oil sat on the foam not soak in or something like that. Basically the foam filter was a large particle filter and I needed a outer wrap like they put on motorbike filters to help with dust.

As for washing, I cant remember how often I washed the filter as is close on 10 years ago that I had my datto.

 

Regarding the crumbling that was on the secondhand filter I got with the carby. I did buy a new filter for it and thats when I was told about the oil on the filter

I just got of the phone to them trying to track down the delivery.

 

I mentioned to him about the foam crumbling, he said they had issues 10 - 12 years ago.

With this new foam not one has been returned .

 

They said just use a good quality foam oil.

As he said, a can will out last the filter ,so penrite it is.
