clover, I measured my Kota intake (sorry don't remember the measurement) and then went to Autozone and got the K+N book and ordered the exact filter I wanted. They got it in the next day and didn't charge me any extra for the shipping. The book is very detailed for getting the size and shape you want. I chose the filter that fit my carb and then expands to about 1/2 inch beyond the carb mount all the way around then tapers down in kind of a cone shape. I've been running it for over a year with no problems at all.

Best part about buying it from Autozone, if you screw up and get the wrong one or it doesn't fit, they will take it back with no questions asked.

good luck!

 

hey thanks i might do that it sounds a whole lot easier.
