Default Cheap air filters

Perhaps this is a tecnique used by many but in case you don't you can make a very effective and very cheap air filter for your carb but using a pair of your wifes/girlfriends old pantyhose. Depending on your carb size, cut a square shape from the pantyhose, stretch it over the carb and hold it in place with a rubber O ring available from automotive parts stores.
You can make hundreds of filters from one pair of nylons, just be sure to get permission to cut them up!!

Cheers
Mike

Hi Mike,
good idea-I have been doing that for years-my wife says I can have all the panty hose I want-as long as it is hers.

Thanks Goose!
I want to tell you my wife was NOT amused when I cut that little square out of her panty hose...I almost cut her leg while doing it!
