FAQs

What type of carburettors is this filter designed for?

The Pipercross PX500 is designed for small-dimension twin carburettor setups, commonly found with carburettors like SUs.

Can I use this filter for a single carburettor?

No, this filter is specifically designed for twin carburettor setups where one filter serves both.

What is the recommended clearance between the carburettor trumpet and the filter?

A minimum clearance of 19mm between the trumpet mouth and the inner face of the filter is recommended.

How often should I clean the Pipercross PX500 filter?

Cleaning frequency depends on operating conditions. For dusty environments or heavy use, inspect and clean more frequently. A general guideline is to clean it during regular vehicle maintenance intervals.

What cleaning products should I use?

Always use a dedicated Pipercross cleaning kit specifically designed for their foam air filters. Do not use petroleum-based solvents or high-pressure washers.

Can I modify the filter to fit?

No, modifications are not recommended as they can compromise the filter's integrity and performance. Ensure you have the correct fitment for your application.

Does this filter come pre-oiled?

Pipercross competition foam filters are typically supplied dry. Always follow the instructions provided with your specific filter and cleaning kit regarding re-oiling if necessary.

Troubleshooting

Reduced engine performance after installation

Check if the minimum 19mm clearance between the trumpet and filter is maintained. Ensure the filter is correctly seated and not obstructing airflow.

Filter does not fit securely

Verify compatibility with your specific carburettor model. Ensure mounting hardware is correctly used and tightened, without overtightening which could damage the filter.

Engine running rough or spluttering

Inspect the filter for dirt or debris buildup. If the filter is dirty, follow the cleaning instructions. Ensure no foreign objects have entered the carburettor intake.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Improves engine performance through efficient airflow.
  • Consolidates filtration for dual carburettors into one unit.
  • Durable construction suitable for high-stress applications.
  • Designed for both race and street use.
  • Utilizes high-quality Pipercross filter media.

Cons

  • Requires specific clearance (19mm minimum) from trumpet to filter face.
  • May not fit all twin carburettor configurations due to size constraints.
  • Needs careful installation to ensure proper sealing.
  • Specific cleaning and maintenance procedures required for foam filters.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure you are fitting the largest filter possible for your setup. Crucially, maintain a minimum of 19mm gap between the carburettor trumpet mouth and the inner face of the filter. Proper fitment is essential to avoid performance degradation.

Compatibility: This filter is designed for small-dimension twin carburettor setups, such as those using SUs. Verify your carburettor type and spacing before purchase.

Care: Pipercross foam filters require specific cleaning. Use a proprietary Pipercross cleaning kit. Gently wash the foam with the cleaner, rinse thoroughly with clean water, and allow it to air dry completely before re-oiling (if the kit specifies re-oiling) and refitting.
