air filter

[andyken]

Are there outerwear filters or better filter / materials? for the xb?


Most other filters look like a cone style and then the body wouldn't fit without cutting out the window?

Here's some info on using the Baja filter...

Also, I was thinking a 5ive filter would fit without hitting the body, but you might have to reposition the throttle linkage so it won't hit, which wouldn't be hard to do.

Here's what I was looking at...

This...

DT1 Dome Triple Stage Filter for Losi 5ive

With this...

Outerwears for TGN Short Stack Uni Air Filter / Losi 5ive Stock Filter

You'd need this, too...

DDM Tall RC / CY Velocity Stack (1" height)

I have some of these as well. The body can squish the tip down so you won't have to cut your body. I like the 5ive version nice and compact. The problem with the HPI filter on the XP is the plastic end. It will not fit under an XB body.

Do I need a adapter to mount it to the carb?

Yes you still need a stack to mount it to.

I must have 6 or 8 of these, use the 2 stage most of the time- I keep 2 of these 2 stages ready to go in a big baggie. same with the 3 stages. I became tired as heck of the gasoline to clean these filters- so, I use No-Toil on these- I never put the filters in the washing machine to clean- some folks do- I think it will hammer them- and the washing machine also-the pump. When it does eventually become a total dust bowl here- I will keep a very close eye on this No-Toil. The standard for a dirt bike in talcum dust is Maxima FFT.- Our cars are right on the ground- you ever use the FFT and get it on your self - I know of no other filter oil like this stuff- It takes gas to clean- then after it dries- another cleaning with Dawn soap- or simple green- I am talking about the DT1 clamp on -- just saying----

The 990 is a great carb. Keep in mind that once you get a pipe, the performance will be much better. Right now you're probably running the stock exhaust, which is very restrictive and basically garbage.

I have a jet pro pipe

How's the tune? The 30.5 is a torque engine, so it's not going to scream like a 27.2. You can try gearing up a bit to gain some top end. Acceleration will suffer, though.

I have a jet pro pipe...before I fouled the plug, it ran ok, a bit boggy an not much top end....will get a ngk plug and see what happens. I did just win a 990 carb on ebay.

 

[Deluge]

If you fouled the plug, your tune is off. Lean it out a bit, or you'll foul the NGK, as well.

 

[andyken]

Got it running...but.

1 1/8 on H needle ...and about 3/4! on L needle?

plenty of smoke, maybe prev owner mashed the screw in?

Also found bearing failed on b/c gear and egg shaped the bearing hole.

 

[Deluge]

That's certainly a possibility. Back the needle all the way out and check it. If it has a groove worn into the tip, that'll cause tuning issues. Your fuel mixture could be too rich, as well.
