Up-Tite carb filter

[gasgasman]

Got my Up-Tite carb filter mounted.
I used a 7/8" handle bar clamp ( that's what Home Depot calls it) to mount it to the power valve chamber.

It has been very dusty lately and I have been noticing dirt in the float bowl.
I plan on riding tomorrow with Sled-Fiend , so I'll remove the filters and inspect them after the ride.

Jeez, you're gonna get a lot of gawkers asking what that is.
Tell 'em it's a turbo.

When you drop the bike where does the fuel go ? Does it go through the filter or back into the bowl ? If the bowl, would it be flooded then ?

[gasgasman]

The idea is not to drop the bike.

The fuel will drain back into the float bowl, an excess will drain out the overflow tube.

After a 17 mile ride today, there was dust on the filter.
And I had not ridden behind anyone today.

That's a good idea. If anyone has ridden Land Between the Lakes during dry times, you know you need one. Here in the South, I run my vent hoses back and into the top of the air box. Where yours is routed, we would soon have under water in the many stream crossings.

What is that plastic thingy with the brass inside to the right of the filter? It kind of looks like a fuel filter for a lawn mower.

That is a fuel filter with a 90 degree elbow. I run one, they have been available for awhile now.

I don't think water crossings are a big concern in Texas at this time, but up here the carb would suck water into the bowl just like stock, but I guess it would be clean water! I just have small individual filters on each line and the carb stays clean. I would need two of those trick parts.

Here is an alternative from 7602 Racing at a reasonable price. A lot of guys on the Husky forum use this one or the UpTite version on the TE610's. I heard good things about both of them. The 7602 version is nice with the extra hose hookups to avoid the T-fittings like in the above pics. Note: their design allows you to run one hose up into the air box. You will see this in the link below (look for center hose).
