Abstract
A carburetor air intake velocity stack engagable with a carburetor inlet, has a cylindrical throat section having first and second ends. The first end is adapted to be coupled to the carburetor, while the second end is open to the air. A shaped, mesh filter having an effective open area which exceeds the open area of the velocity stack by at least about 50%, is located within said air intake velocity stack. The filter has a cylindrically formed flange member which is trapped between said air intake velocity stack and the carburetor.
