Hey all I just put a new (low miles original) 1600 in my buggy and now she motors along nice but what do I do about an air filter? It's got the original oil bath unit but thats now old and rotten(original) is there replacements for it or is there somethin better I can put in
-
if its a stock setup, i would stick with the stock style air filter. the oil bath does a great job at filtering, and you might run into carb icing in cold moist weather if you go to a pancake style airfilter (i did anyways).

yeah it's all stock but bein a buggy I won't be useing it in the colder months
-
if your ripping around off road i wouldnt use the oil bath, i would reccomend getting either a two stage, or getting a sock for a universal style aircleaner.
either way airspeed should be able to help you out

thanks
