How do you cover your exposed velocity stack air filter?

[Oilpan4]

I have been using a Walmart bag and very long twist tie.

What, I'm not sure I know what you mean.
I thought you needed that to breathe air.
I must be clueless on this velocity stack.
Have any pictures of what you're doing.

I put on ladies knee high stockings sprayed with air filter oil and a zip tie to keep it tight before we go to the desert. When its time to clean them up, I zip tie A plastic bag over it before the hose and soap get used.

Always wondered how they tuck it. Zip ties. What goes on in the desert… lol

I think he meant when it’s not in use.. l bet he’s like me and his stuff sets outside and if you know anything about those filters they are catchalls for water/dirt whatever.. so yes zip tie a bag over it when it’s setting. OR just let it fill up with water hahhahaha

If everybody wants to have a good laugh, that's cool. I have a sense of humor also. But the original question was about protecting velocity stack ( incoming air to the carburetor ). At least that's how I understood it. A woman's nylon stocking is woven very close with very fine thread. Slip it over the air filter, tie it down tight at the base of the carburetor with a zip tie, and spray real good with air filter oil ( sold at all motorcycle shops ) and you have improved your air filter ability to catch dirt or sand by about 100 percent. Practically all our riding is off road in the desert. The knee high ones are short enough that you don't have to cut them off, plus a pack of two can be purchased at almost any 99 cent store.
In the last couple of days I have read at least one post saying after hosing down the kart it wouldn't start, or wasn't running right. If you're too damn stupid to not zip tie a plastic bag over the air intake and the exhaust pipe prior to turning on the hose or the pressure washer them maybe go kart ownership is a little to complicated for you. Try bicycles. They are easier to keep running.

Come on. If one can’t laugh while slipping into oiled tights, I don’t even want to wear them anymore.

Hey Pancho,

That a good idea
...a nice-n-cheap pre-filter

I was just razzin' ya, because of the way that you worded your reply

 

[panchothedog]

No problem at all. I totally get it. The way I worded my first post, left a lot open to the imagination. It is a dirt cheap way to help out your air cleaner.

Yes when not in use should have been more clear about that.

 

[Oilpan4]

I just figure there's no point in the air filter catching dirt when the engine is not running.

This should have been post #1.
