Would a crankcase breather filter for a car work as an air filter for a mini bike? Assuming it fits on the carb?
This is the style: http://www.motorspeed.com/sitepix/products/mids/mid_trillogy_breather_filter.jpg
I've seen similar looking filters on mini bike parts websites for upwards of $20 which seems like a rip off, if I can get one of these online for 5 bucks
It should work if it fits, I would suggest to take a piece of old cloth (if you don't mind spending a little money, go to the fabric department of walmart, you can get cloth in any color you want), put a little air filter oil on it, and rubber band it over the outside, that way smaller particles will get trapped. The crank vent is only supposed to keep stray oil droplets and mist inside as much as possible, so it will trap grass and the such, but to keep dust out you need something finer.
