FAQs

What is the main advantage of the Pipercross PX300 filter?

The PX300 offers superior airflow compared to standard filters, leading to potential increases in engine power and responsiveness, while maintaining effective filtration through its triple-layer foam design.

Can this filter be used for daily driving?

Yes, the Pipercross PX300 is suitable for both road and competition use, offering enhanced performance for daily driving as well as more demanding conditions.

How often should I clean the filter?

Cleaning frequency depends on operating conditions. In dusty environments, more frequent cleaning is advised. Typically, inspect every few thousand miles and clean when visibly dirty or performance seems to degrade.

What does '65mm - Domed' refer to?

'65mm' likely refers to the filter's height or a specific mounting dimension, while 'Domed' describes the shape of the filter top. These details are crucial for ensuring correct fitment on specific carburettors.

What happens if I don't maintain the 20mm gap?

Not maintaining the recommended 20mm gap can lead to suboptimal airflow, potentially reducing the performance gains and efficiency benefits the filter is designed to provide.

Is re-oiling necessary after cleaning?

The PX300 is made of foam and may require a specific dirt retention additive to be reapplied after cleaning and drying to maintain its filtration properties, as per Pipercross recommendations.

What types of carburettors does this filter fit?

The PX300 Series is engineered to accommodate various carburettor types such as Weber, Solex, and SU.

Troubleshooting

Reduced engine power after installation

Check that the filter is correctly installed with the recommended 20mm clearance. Ensure no air leaks are present around the filter seal. Verify the filter is clean and not clogged.

Filter does not fit the carburettor properly

Double-check the MPN (C302D) and model details against your carburettor specifications. Ensure you have the correct variant for your specific carburettor type (e.g., Weber, Solex, SU) and mounting requirement.

Engine misfires or runs rough

Inspect the filter for any loose debris that could be entering the carburettor. Ensure the filter is securely fastened and sealing correctly.

Filter appears damaged

If the foam is torn, degraded, or the metal support is compromised, the filter should be replaced to ensure proper filtration and engine protection.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the carburettor is clean and free of debris.
  2. Verify that there is a clearance of at least 20mm between the inside of the filter and any carburettor trumpets or the carburettor body.
  3. Securely mount the filter to the carburettor flange, ensuring a tight seal to prevent air leaks.

Compatibility:

  • This filter is designed for single carburettor setups.
  • It is compatible with popular carburettor types including Weber, Solex, and SU.

Care:

  • Cleaning: The filter can be cleaned using a mild detergent and water. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely before reinstallation.
  • Re-oiling (if applicable): After cleaning and drying, a specific dirt retention additive may need to be reapplied if recommended by Pipercross for optimal filtration.
  • Inspection: Periodically inspect the filter element for any damage or excessive dirt buildup. Replace if the foam is torn or degraded.
