Who is giving instructions to drill holes in the air box?

I have never had a 44mm or a 48mm bbk run well using ant part of the stock airbox or even the rubber tube that connects the carb to the air box.

44mm kits run great with uni filters.

48mm kits :imo: need bigger carbs and exhaust to run right.

i don't know a lot about motors but im trying to figure out why it would not run right with a brand new oil breather filter in the end of the carb, but when hooked back up to the stock airbox it ran better

Is the oil breather filters ID hole smaller than the mouth of the carb ?

yep, it ran horrable, spitting and spuddering, then hooked it back to the factory airbox and ran better, i'm beginning to think that jet that came with the big bore kit is too much???
