hey i have a pro design air filter and i don't want to run with an airbox lid but i am worried i will suck dirt into the engine through the breather hose that connectes to the snorkel. do any of you run with out a lid and how do you do it? thanx

The breather hose is normally connected to the airbox intake snorkel, so it doesn't matter either way.

I built a small filter for mine(didn't want to take any chances)I found a plastic fitting(off an old dirt bike)that fits into the hose. That fits into a hole in the lid of a film container,the film container has small holes drilled in the bottom and is filled with some filter material from a home furnace.OK that sounds like too much work for a stupid little filter but I whipped it up in 5 minutes.Anyways you probably don't have a plastic airbox fitting from a 1979 PE175 in your basement(do you?)so go to your local bike dealer or auto parts store with the hose and see if you can find an inline fuel filter that fits it.And while your at it put a fuel filter on the short hose coming off the very top of the carb,that carb breather can let stuff into your float bowl. Mine sucked in some flower seeds that plugged up my main jet.

k&n makes a breather hose filter, I have seen it on the dirtwheels 660 grizzly any small clamp on filter would work, or you can drill a hole in side of airbox and stick it in there, and its the same as if it was in the unfiltered snorkel.
