Is it bad to install a double layer air filter element the other way around?
Hello,
I have a typical Chinese scooter with a GY6 engine, and when I open the air filter box, my current double-layer air filter faces out with the black side. Now I want to buy a Stage6 double-layer air filter insert, but if I were to install it (at least if it's delivered exactly as shown in the pictures), the black side would face in. Is that a problem?
If it’s a new filter, it doesn’t matter how you insert it as long as it fits.
Of course, this does not matter if you turn the (contaminated) outside inwards because then dirt would get into the engine.
No.
Really? Because for me it would also make sense that the black side is on the same as where the air is drawn, since the black is also denser.
It’s not important.
