What filters are folks using to capture the crank case gases when running dual carbs? I have seen a couple of different pictures of a small filter and a chrome top. Size, brand, price?

Check the performance section of your local auto parts store. I believe I have a Mr. Gasket brand filter. It's chrome with a removable top. The filter element is foam and can be removed, and cleaned or replaced with any generic foam you find laying around. If you have an older motor with worn rings, the filter element will get soaked with oil and start leaking on the starter motor. When the starter motor brushes get oil soaked, starting will be more difficult.
