Homemade Air filter adapter

[tin solider3]

I thought i'd experiment around with a wooden homemade adapter for my briggs engine, also I'm just cheap :laugh:

I started by Tracing the air filter circumference

Cut

Very rough outline

Sanded

Installed

Done

It probably isn't the most efficient performance wise, but It works.

That is a great idea, it looks way simpler.

good idea. I just dont like the idea of wood, and gasoline! maybe it's me? plastic and gas on the other hand!

 

[danc9]

Looks great!

There are two kinds of items, those that work, and those that don't. Looks like you have the first! Congrats, you may inspire others to "why not"...... thanks for sharing.

I like it. Paint it black on the back side so it don't look like wood. BTW that's a purdy motor you have.

Wood..."Poor Mans Billit"....

That's a nice setup, what's the plastic from?

it's a 2" pvc end cap.

 

[ceepitmini202]

thats realy cool you could buy more pvc pipe and make a snorkel:thumbsup:.........or a cold air :biggrin:

I have to agree with JRZ - go to Home Depot or Lowes in the plumbing dept and find a 2" PVC cap. All you have to do after that is drill the mounting holes and the venturi hole....Done. You can stuff it with foam element or put a K&N style like yours.

I admire your enthusiasm and experimentation though.:thumbsup:

Thanks, I see you have a industrial plus engine also, they make very strong engines

N I never really thought of using a PVC cap, I'll have to try that next time. I'm with you JZR, I rather have plastic over wood.

Looks good though:thumbsup:

How thick is the wood?

 

[buckeye]

That looks great Grant. On that header, 3/4 in. Pipe right? I am gonna do almost the same thing for a old 5 brigg for my manco t-bird. Good attention to detail.

Yeah the pipe was temporary for when I was starting the engine up. Now if I can only find an 18 wheeler air horn laying around

 

[buckeye]

Oh crap. Thats even better! Where did that come from? Sorry, for the hijack.

I thought you were done with that? Uhhhh :facepalm::facepalm::facepalm::facepalm::facepalm::facepalm::facepalm::facepalm::facepalm::facepalm::facepalm::facepalm::facepalm::facepalm::facepalm:
N it's inch, not very thick. It was more of a temporary thing.
