Carb

Not sure what carb I have but will a hs2 1 1/4" pancake filter fit?

I have a little 90degree neck between my air filter and carb with a butterfly nut holding my filter down

Sounds like a standard Minor carb set-up - but a 'pancake' filter is useless. You need a cone shaped K&N type filter.

I don't rele want it for performance jus more the clean shinny look any places I can buy the k&n??

Important you know what carb you've got. They all have different air filter fixing dimensions.

HS4's on marinas also had 90 degree elbows with a wing nut holding the filter on. So you description could just as easily by a HS4 as a HS2.

Care to post a picture? Or measure the diameter of the mouth of the carb.

I have seen an air filter on ebay, which size fits HS2 carbs and do they make much difference?

Post up the link! I would advise buying a filter suitable for the larger 1.5" carb - so you can still use it when you finally upgrade to the better carb. And no - on a standard engine it really won't make any difference - and it will be much noisier.......

buying one for a bigger carb, to fit on a smaller carb, won't necessarily work. Different centre hole size for starters, but the other holes won't be in the right place either.

If you're keeping the carb you've got, buy a filter to suit. If you're changing carb soon, then wait and get a filter to fit that!

You can always jiggle the holes.
