Default RE: Air Filter Question

The air filter doesn't really help with cooling. It's there to clean the air the engine needs to mix with the fuel to get the liquid fuel to ignite. A bigger air filter will let the engine suck more air into the carb and allow the engine to 'breathe' better. Then again, a dirty air filter will make the engine run hotter, so a big clean air filter might possibly cool it down. Only one way to find out dude!!
