Air Filter Housing

[Sled Man 15]

I replaced the carb on my K181 with a Carter #16 but the air filter housing doesn’t work.  Any idea where I can get one to fit the new carb?  If not I can make the old one work with some welding and drilling.

That looks like the 3 screw pattern used on the big block carbs. Does your old base use the two hole mounting base with the extra mounting bracket off the back?

Here is the old housing.  Basically the openning is too big so I found a washer I can use as a spacer/filler.

I don’t have it anymore.  Was shot so I got rid of it.

That looks like a housing for the large block kohlers. You certainly can make it work with a spacer washer.  i sugest you make a gasket for both sides of the washer to seal it.    Also that larger hole in the lower left side of the plate is for a hose that some engines have going back to the breather cover (early emissions control) .  If you are not using that hose I  suggest you fill fill that hole as it would allow air to bypass the filter and allow dirty air to be sucked directly into the engine.
