Re: Air filter/cleaner question

The hose is the crankcase breather and it uses the carb. inlet to evacuate the crankcase.
While you could just use a breather you loose the positive vacuum effect.
Also the TAC function is lost for warming inlet air by not using the air cleaner assy.

The type of circular air filter that would fit in the space is really too small for the engine. Might want to look at fabricating an elbow similar to the factory rise and cross over the engine to the cold side. Then use a cone shape hose mount filter so popular on cold air inlet kits. In fact a universal kit might be a good start.
