Abstract:

An air intake scoop for a motorcycle carburetor inserts into the carburetor mouth while also fitting within the air filter housing. The air scoop being designed with a cutout in front, a ridge along the interior and a 90-degree angle for the ability to draw a strong airflow into the carburetor, preventing gas mist from escaping from the carburetor. This air intake scoop would be molded preferably of polyurethane or other gas and oil resistant plastic or rubber, and would be easily adapted to fit a variety of different sizes of carburetors and air filter housings. An air filter cover with a forward air opening admits a strong current of air into the air filter and air intake scoop on clear days and has a closeable lid to prevent water from entering the carburetor on rainy days.
