Air cleaner
« on: December 07, 2014, 07:34:04 AM »
We all know that the air cleaner supplied with the Listeroid is a joke , all it can stop is large stones  ???

Any ideas for a replacement ? Mike

Mike,

I think one the best and most cost effective solutions is a shop-vac paper filter element. There are at least a couple threads on here showing how to do that well. Use your Search function at top of page.

If you are also interested in quieting intake noise as well as filtering, an air compressor intake filter such as this:

or this:

I am using one on my JKSON 6/1 and it really does make a difference. More costly than a shop vac filter, but threads right on to a bolt-on exhaust flange installed on the intake side.
Cheers,
Hugh
