xhadyboy 492 Posted October 5, 2016 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 ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SLO247 1,713 Posted October 5, 2016 There are two or three styles I know of aside from the Aussiespeed stuff. Try searching on ebay, search for weber 34adm or weber adm. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. 1 Valvebouncer reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xhadyboy 492 Posted October 5, 2016 Hey Wagoon How often did you pull it to pieces and wash it ? Did you use any filter oil on yours ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SLO247 1,713 Posted October 5, 2016 They sure do look good. Maybe the oil stops it from drying out and breaking up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wagoon 2,429 Posted October 6, 2016 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dex 2,065 Posted October 6, 2016 Would pit bike aerosol filter oil degrade the ram flow element ,? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xhadyboy 492 Posted October 6, 2016 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. 1 wagoon reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
