Hey, I know this is a little crazy, but I was wondering if there is any such thing as a paper pod filter. I know you're asking "why would you want that?" Well these are a few things that I can think of...
o Ease of removing carbs with Pod Filters (vs. airbox)
o Filtration qualities of pleated paper (possibly better filtration, depending on many variables)
o Different maintenance (just replace, vs. clean, dry, lube)
o Yes, possibly lower flow/performance depending on selection
If there's nothing off-the-shelf, it seems like there are a few "Lawn and Garden" products that might be adaptable. Not trying to reinvent the wheel, just throwing a few ideas out there........Thoughts???
---------------------------------------------------------
Use 4x small oval filters positioned like pod filters, and the long dimension of the oval oriented vertically. A bracket/flange would need to be fabricated to connect the filter to the carb with a boot, possibly made of gasoline-rated hose.

This one had me intrigued...two holes. Possibly oriented horizontally to service two carbs (depending on spacing).

And of course, a single oval filter oriented horizontally to service all 4 carbs.
