Bet & Win 250 / Re: No More OEM Air Filters?

eBay $22.00,  plus $19.00 shipping.  >:(

It’s the shipping that keeps me from pulling the trigger on that. 

I will try blowing it out 1st.

Rinsing it in gas or alcohol would be a bad idea???

It was a logical idea jeeves.

Thank you.

However, this B&W apparently has a unique filter.  >:(

The People 250 HIFLOFILTRO was a very different shape.

I think I will start rebuilding the one I have.

You mean take out the plastic molded OEM air filter  and literally just place a piece of cycle gear motorcycle foam across where the plastic and corrugated paper filter was and close the box up?

So, I just got this 2006 B&W 250 off of Craigslist. Took a weekend to look everything over. Seems like the only part on it that is in need of a replacement is the air filter.

After several days of looking on-line for a stock air filter, it appears that there are no more NOS,  OEM air filters for this model?
 
(Yes, there was a place out of Taiwan selling them for $25+$22 shipping, Grrrr)

Does anyone know of an on line store in the US that still has stock?
Or, do I need to convert it over to some universal cone/cylinder air filter and re-jet the carb?

Thanks all

Thank you all.

While I can still get most parts for this thing, I sure wish they still made plastics for it.
Right now, yellow duck tape and stickers mend and cover the cracks n scratches.
While I would prefer to have a nice new Super 8, I kind of want to drive this thing until something super expensive goes bad on it.

Funny on the gas milage before and after the 70cc BBK. Befor it got 59-61MPG, after the kit, 73-75MPG! Woot.

Just posting that my 2001 Kymco Cobra Cross turned over 10,000 miles tonight.  16,200 Kilometers.
17 years old. All of the parts are date stamped 2001.

This thing is built like a Mercedes. It just keeps going and going and going.
At 9,800 miles I got chicken and installed a Malossi 70cc BBK. Did not want to have things go boom just short of 10,000 miles.
The piston skirt had a modest amount of gas blowby on the exhaust port side,  but other than that, things looked good.

Muffler is rusting badly and stuff falls out of it if you shake it. So, that will probably be my next remove and replace.
The body plastics have cracks and seem to be the only subpar part of the entire scooter.

So impressed.

My first trouble shooting move would be to reinstall the old carb and see if things work correctly again. If yes, you know it is some type of carb issue. What size pilot jet and main jet came with the new carb?  I am running a 35/85.

Do you have a translucent fuel line going into the carb?  If yes, look to see if there is fuel in it near the carb when the scoot dies.

I just installed a 70cc BBK in my Cobra and did not change anything other than the piston/cylinder. Same 14mm carb. Same air intake. Runs great.
