Re: [COUPERS-TECH] Carb/Air Filter Question

[dr . beeman]

Would you say more about this filter? I've used foam filters on BMW motorcycles for forty years and found them MUCH more effective than just the paper element by itself. These powerplants are not cheap to replace either, and to have to rebuild or replace this kind of engine simply because the OEM filtration was inadequate causes it to rain in my heart.

 

Where do you get one? How much treasure does it cost to install it?

Instead of answering your question, I'm going to suggest buying a Brackette
air filter replacement which is STC'd for your plane. This filter uses a
foam element which is discarded and replaced at annual/100 hour inspections
or when dirty. This will provide real filtering for your expensive engine.
AND to boot it costs less than an original mesh filter element.
