Hey there everyone! Sorry for the delay...Went to Vegas for a week!!!

So here are the details for my air intake relocation project on the ATA-250D.

So, the problem: The original air intake was a black plastic downturned tube that takes air in from the bottom. This is an issue when attempting to cross even small mud puddles and creeks.

I didnt want to make a full on snorkel, because lets face it, I am not taking a 2WD Chinese wheeler in deep water and mud. I did want to relocate the air intake in a way to protect it from "splash" from puddles and creek crossings.

The solution: Under the seat of the ATA-250D is a storage area. This area is directly behind the carb intake. The stock downturned air filter/intake goes right under this storage area. My solution; extend the intake into this storage area, thereby giving it more splash protection. (PIC 1)

As you can see, the space is just behind and above the carb and intake.

The next step is to get supplies. PIC 2 & 3 are pics of a rubber reducer (1.5 to 1.25 inch) and a 1.25 inch PVC 45-degree elbow. The outside diameter of the Elbow goes inside the large end of the reducer as shown in the pic.

PIC 4 is the original air filter/intake thingy.
