Air Filter - Recommend Changes

Hi Forum,

This post may come as no surprise to many but thought I should post to heed warning to new china quad owners.

I decided to pull the air filter off my Gio 110cc Mini Beast today, just to give it a clean up and check it over. When I removed the rubber hose attached to the carb (with some annoyance due to the angle of the clamp screw) I was quite surpised to see a lot of caked on crud along the walls of the carb intake. I would think this should be clean in there, as should be a filtered clean air zone, but no.

Now the air filter really was not that dirty, a little dusty but nothing serious.. it didn't look to me like it was doing a good job keeping much out of there other than large stones and small animals.

I cleaned this up as carefully and gingerly as possible, and will be sourcing new air filters for both my Gio's. I would recommend an upgrade in this area for many Gio owners who haven't done so already.

If any small Gio owners have sourced a good filter, and know the dimensions that would help me, as I can't seem to find my damn calipers anywhere. I should perhaps look in my kids toy box! :roll:
