This is just a quick video to share some info about which air filter adapter you may need for the $14 Tillotson clone carburetors (the 2 different types I've received so far) I've noticed when you order one of the Tillotson clone carbs thru the link, it's like Forrest Gump's box of chocolates, "You never know what you're going to get."
Special thanks to James Huffman for asking the question that led to this video on the Tillotson air filter adapters for these $14 carbs
I realize this video may not be of interest to everyone. But for those experimenting with the $14 Tillotson clone carburetors there is some important info about which air filter adapter part # you need and how to measure your carburetor to find the correct adapter. This may come in handy more for the Kart Racers that are building a budget minded Limited Modified class engine.
Thanks, Chris "Kentucky Fried Fixes"
I've received two different types of Tillotson clone carburetors thru the same link. I've listed and shown the differences in the carburetors in previous videos but I'll list the info required for each air filter adapter below.
The larger venturi .875 (the better one IMO) Tillotson branded on the pump block clone carburetor requires an air filter adapter with the following measurements:
Bolt Spacing 1.375"
ID 1.100"
OD 2.5"
If you purchase one from EC Carburetors the part # is: 302VS
The other Tillotson copy I received was branded "FULIN" and is a much smaller venturi carburetor with a smaller air horn. The EC air filter adapter part # 308VS works good for the smaller carb. Mine has the following measurements:
Bolt Spacing 1.375"
ID .913
OD 2.5"
Make sure you measure your carburetor air horn and bolt spacing to get the dimensions for the correct air filter adapter you need.
You can use any 2.5" air filter common to Kart Racing.

The link to the Carburetor above I have purchased thru, tested and researched is an affiliate link, if you're planning to purchase a carburetor anyway why not use the link and support future giveaways on the channel. I will never ask for nor expect monetary support of any kind, any proceeds from the link will be applied 100% to drawings/giveaways to Subscribers.
The product title in the link is "YOFMOO Carburetor Carb Compatible for Stihl"
The first carb I received was the "FULIN" brand. I was pleased with it and ordered another. The next carburetor I received, from the same link listed above, was branded "Tillotson" and had a larger venturi. I've ordered more since and have been receiving carbs branded "Tillotson". Keep in mind these are Tillotson "clone" carburetors and NOT genuine Tillys. It's my belief that they are likely using genuine Tillotson block stacks on the cloned carb body. Get these while you can, if nothing else they're well worth the price even if used just for replacement parts.
***The carb bore on intake side measures 1.002 (one inch and two thousandths)
