Your part number was close but I came up with RB-0910 which is 5 inches high, and an RB-0900 which is 4 inches in height. Do you think the 4 inch high one would work better, i.e., less contact with cowl and starter? I also found some cone shapes which are about 5 inches high but have 3 1/2 inch diameter top, perhaps that would work, what do you think? I wish my cowl was off so I could take some measurements. I just put it back on Sunday after the annual inspection.

I used a conical K&N filter that had a bit of an offset in the attach flange. Part # RB 091. It did touch the starter and I put a big gob of RTV at the point of contact. It also tended to touch the cowling but never seemed to cause and damage. I do not see any reason why you could not squeeze a bit to get more clearance. It is a nice simple system.

Not only do I not like the looks of the thing but it lays on the inside of the cowl and has to deform a bit to do that, it also is wearing where the cuff slides over the Y-valve. I am using John's intake Y valve and the angle of the filter side may not be quite right. Has anyone had this problem and or have a solution? Perhaps going to a K&N filter will do it, any model numbers would help my search for a solution. Thanks, Jim Stone Checked by AVG.
