The typical Tecumseh carburetor air cleaner bolt pattern crosses with the Tillotson HL carbs that are common use on the kart racing style engines so a pod adapter, velocity stack, rock guard, etc., usually bolt right on. G.E.M. I believe still produces one. With that said I have not used a premade pod adapter on one before, just velocity stacks and Rock guards. Sometimes the bore is larger than the carb inlet, but so far I have found it has not been enough that it did not seal against the carb body of a tec though......cant really get larger than the bolt spacing so its usually good.
you can also make one pretty easy out of something like a PVC endcap ( I made the one out of a 1 3/4 fuel cap on the bike pictured below :laugh:....not the best idea btw) just have to get the ID sizing that works with the filter you want to use.
And there is no Jet change, just some needle adjustments on a typical Tecumseh carb that has high and low speed needles.

Yes, you can bolt on adapters, then clamp on a pod filter. But why would you do this? It sucks up room, it puts the filter right above that rear tire, it makes dealing with the choke much more difficult, you'll have to bend the lever most likely, and that is if you don't go too big. No reason for it.
Do you just drill a hole somewhere on the carb body? I've found that simply increasing the fuel by turning the high speed jet out a bit does the trick, although a dude who used to hang out here did drill out that lower main jet slightly, hogged out both valve pockets and set the governors to run at 4800 RPM on a regular basis.
LOL, people get used to these questions in line with Predator motors, and all of the answers start to flow together. Teasing you about drilling the carb body hole. And why would anyone feel the need to put a giant ugly piece of foam on the back of their Tecumseh?

Aye, the tank mount was out for chrome when the photo was taken. That engine was brand new, hogged out valve chambers, new valves, new seals, new .020 piston, rings, bore, drilled out high speed jet, and governor set at maximum, everything turned clockwise. I bought the motor like that from a premier, awesome Tecumseh guru who no longer hangs out here. It used to be unique, until someone "borrowed" my seat idea.
No, I purchased the tires in a white wall. They are DOT rated to 60 MPH. I do not paint tires. I stole the idea from I believe Tote Gote Trav or one of the Gote guys. Pretty cool tires. Also put a set on my last Tote Gote. Scooter tires.
Someone could post the link of the carb adapter for the pod filters. Markus answered the question though, any Tillotson HL carburetor adapter will bolt up to the Tec, and a pod filter clamped to it.
The guy I was referring to did not leave in disgust, he simply moved on. Cant sell too many brand new Tec long blocks, when he needed $400 to end up right with it, and a Predator is less than a hundred bucks. Only dumbshits like me buy them at that price. :laugh:
