Just wondering what is best air-induct setup with lpg system, is pre-filter any use? I dont have snorkel yet but plan too. Also would an K&N filter be worth to get?

Don't bother with a K & N style filter. They offer zero protection against water ingress and fine particles. Stick with a paper element. They are cheap, easy to replace and offer better filtration.

I have a Impco 300A mixer with air filter (paper element of course) mounted directly on top of the carby. It is enclosed in a plastic housing which is ducted to my snorkel.

This is a fairly common setup I believe. When I get a chance, I'll post some pics for you.

Cheers,

Micko
