Spyder Air Filter with short velocity stack

[Picodogg]

I have a brand new 5ive T and I just got done installing the kill switch. I installed a couple of other things, one of them being a Spyder air filter (oil less.) it’s in a velocity short stack off the carb and while trying to get it fit right with body cage I eventually took it off for some reason. After doing so I saw a good amount of black rubber on the stack and in the air filter from the filter being pushed around on the stack. I vacuumed it up and reinstalled the filter.

Now my question basically is how do I know there isn’t more black rubber shavings/dust inside the filter and when I go to start this thing for the first time it pulls it into the carburetor and engine? I know there is no way to know, but can the engine handle any of this or will it just destroy the thing I have thrown a couple of days getting ready to run the first time?

Maybe I should just put the stock filter back on and look at another option… crazy Stu’s intake wasn’t available last I looked on DDM.

I’ll take the filter back off tomorrow and add some pictures to what I am talking about.

Picture unrelated unless you are ready for the Testicle Festival tomorrow. Then very related.

Cheers,
Pico

I don’t necessarily want or need Crazy Stu’s I just want to be oil less. Maybe that’s not an option and I should just go the dome filter thing I saw in a post.

I will be adding a Bartolone pipe as well.

Maybe @Rep732 with that air filter. I remember something about that setup that he will know more about.

Yea those filters sat pretty tight on any velocity stack or any other kind of aluminum filter housing. Get rid of that thing and get a dt1 foam filter

I use grease or the 2 stroke oil on the velocity stack and on the filter rubber. Detaches/attaches clean now. In addition, it will become easier to install and uninstall after some running time.

I don’t like oiled foam filters maintenance.

Worked like a charm.
