Want to install different air cleaner
 

Want to put a 169 style air cleaner on my 126. I know the parts are put there but was curious if anyone has done this yet?


P.s. I did try the search but had no luck

Just use one off of a KT or a Mag. They're the same, except they don't have the extra holes in the side. (Which you don't need.)

yep, We were doing that 20+ years ago. like J-Mech suggested the KT style works to as do the old cast iron K series twins

Any advantage to running these?

none what so ever if everything else is stock. waste of time and money but I suppose the cool factor is there

Sure there is..... You don't have to clean the air filter as often!:biggrin2:

get the K&N replacement then you never have to replace it

Have you done this mod yourself?

Put a bigger air cleaner on? No. Why? Like we said, it doesn't gain anything. If your wanting to know if it bolts up, or will work, yes. But I don't do it. Not on a stock engine. Now, if I was going to up the HP.... (internal engine work) then yeah, I would. If your looking for HP, then it's not going to do anything.

Is there anything that I could do for this k301 to wake it up while keeping it reliable and mower friendly?

What's wrong with it? What are you trying to do that it won't? :bigthink:

Nothing is wrong with her what so ever - runs great:beerchug: but a few extra ponies never hurt anyone - especially during snow blowing season

Before you play with it..... Are you sure it is running 3600? Does it have the #30 carb? Which head does it have?

Not sure to be honest - the garden tractor hobby is new to me and I'm not sure of all the different parts. If you tell me what to look for I can report back in another day. What I can tell you is that the head was recently decarboned by the dealer, new starter/ gen, new wiring harness, plug and wire, fluids changed and greased. The dealer handles all the service minus grease and oil changes.

So, are you able to do any mods yourself? Or would you be taking it to the dealer and having them do what I would tell you? :bigthink:

A 301 should come equipped with a #26 carb.

I am very mechanically inclined but time is a big issue which is why the dealer does most of it but I do have tools and I know how to use em:beerchug:

J-Mech - any more on the upgrades that could be done?

I guess the bottom line is you want more ponies put in a bigger engine.
