Air filter hose

That's a reproduction that I have no experience with. He usually sells pretty good stuff though. I would check that the air filter and carb is mounted properly, etc. How did you determine that it was too short? Can you compare it to the original one?

I don't know if they sent the wrong part - or did the '62's use one from a different model? I'm going to return it, but I'm not sure what to order. I saw this on ebay. Anyone use one of these filters that attach directly to the carb?

I've used alot of different kinds of air filters on twin carb 305 engines including K&N, Uni and stock and the engines seemed to perform better with the filters attached to velocity stacks or stock air tubes.
I think the air charge gets shaped better with a "tunnel" leading into the carb's venturi.
Never used the cone filters you pictured and they're probably fine on a stocker engine turning low RPMs but I'd try to get an air tube on it if I could.
When I get to that point on a street tracker I'm building from parts, I'm going to try Unis on radiator hoses with molded bends.

I measured them side by side and just by looking at them I could tell it was shorter. I got the tape measure out and the new one measured 8 1/2 inches and the old one measured 9 1/4. See the pic attached. It's mounted correctly on the carb and the filter. The long pin is going straight through the center of the filter, so I can't move it much to reach the tube.

Wow - that's way too short. Your original post said 1/2" thus my other questions. I'd call Tim Monday and see what's up. ....lm might be right - the CA92/95 have similar setups. I'd try to find an OEM part or just use your old one with some electrical tape. We won't tell...

I sent Tim an email with the pic showing the size difference. I'll let you know what he says!
