I have a 429cc Kohler CH440 on my Baja Blaster 65 and am looking for a carb filter housing adapter (so-called "stage 1 kit" often used on Predators). Does anyone know if an adapter from a Predator 420 would work on the Kohler CH440?

The ch440s , at least those on the stihl rb800 pressure washers, do have a quirk.

Instead of the bowl vent for the carb being routed at the front of the carb, venting between
the carb and block insulator like honda/ predators, it is instead ran over to the air filter side of the carb,
and the air box has a nipple that goes into the carb so the bowl vent can, well, vent.

So if you install an aftermarket air filter adapter, you may need to do some modification
with a Dremel tool so the vent is not blocked.

If nothing else, you should be able to remove the kohler carb and install a gx390/ predator 420 , ect
carb on your motor and not worry about it.
