Default A Tea Bag

So I was making myself some tea, and I looked at the bag and thought "hmm, this bag sure does filter out the tea from falling into the water pretty well". So that's when I got an idea. Why not try emptying the tea from the bag, and cut out a little peice, then put that piece around the carb air intake, then put the filter itself on (over the peice of tea bag), and zip tie them both securely on the intake neck. This is just to ensure that nothing falls into the carb.

So what do you think, am I just plain crazy, or is it worth a shot?

PS I hope you guys know what I mean about installing the tea bag onto the carb =P.

I think it might restrict the air flow a little too much.. you could try it though..

If you keep the filter cleaned and oiled, you shouldn't need to do that.. I never get crud in my carb, I keep it cleaned regularly though..

Yeah, I was thinking about that. I was gonna say not use the filter - but that would have been crazy talk!

you need to test it and make sure the nitro fuel wort break it down, same with heat, or it could break up and fall into your engine.

good idea. or you could try a small piece of fine mesh, that also might work.
