Mikuni carburetor fitment issues.

[DCFIRE]

So I have a bristers big thunder go kart. I’m having issues with the Mikuni carburetor manifold, and air filter possibly possibly touching the frame. Any ideas?
Thanks

How about and angled filter?

 

[DCFIRE]

Which brand? And which one do you recommend?

Oh heck I dont know, if you check OMB warehouse you'll see a bunch of them. Really you should test fit the carb and then see what you're up against. If it came down to it you could (probably) make a long tube intake (support it) and put the filter on the end of it, you gain torque with long intakes and it gives you the chance to put the filter up high and dry somewhere (behind the seat?) and make a small air detector to guide cool air towards it. Fit the new carb then take a picture from the side and one from the top please.
