    It's a 4K, Just do it.

    If you really care about pros and cons for it, I guess no filter would make it less restrictive ie; more power, More induction noise ie; More chicks.

    The downside is it wouldn't last more than about 18 months at a guess.

    Or just get a round shiny filter from repco..they still flow good and you wont get christmas beetles in your motor..plus you get the cool carbie sucking sound to pull the chicks in...

    a air filter is actually a fire hazard for back fire threw the carb as it gets fuel mist soak.

    i ran my 4ac without a filter for ages, loved it. no noticeable difference in power, only in noise. this was with a weber too.

    air filter filters the air....in doing so it is restrictive (reducing efficientcy of the engine), however it stops dirt and other particles from entering the engine (damaging the carby or engine).

    make a choice....

    i ran no filter on my 4ac with stock carb, but used filter while running a weber carb. no filter on my 4kc, didnt have many issues to complain with. a clean once a month wouldnt go astray.
