Oh the joy continues in the rain. Gas tank is done. I hate my old bath air filter.
I was thinking about cutting off (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif) the metal filter part and finding a circular paper element that would fit in the recess between the outer shell and wall that "holds" or contains the oil. Will that work ? Anybody modify their old oil bath filter into a paper element ? Any adverse effects on engine performance/wear ?  Original bottom Cut off the stuff marked in blue Try to preserve the central metal post.[size=7]Before I commit, do any members have comments ?[b] |

no need to reinvent the world. Just get a 73 1.7 air filter housing.

Filled and serviced properly, the oil bath air cleaner is far more effective.

QUOTE(The Cabinetmaker @ Feb 11 2015, 07:15 AM)  no need to reinvent the world. Just get a 73 1.7 air filter housing. Does the '73 bolt up easily to the '70 with same hose routing. Not sure what a '73 AF looks like. Got pics? QUOTE(Cap'n Krusty @ Feb 11 2015, 07:30 AM) Filled and serviced properly, the oil bath air cleaner is far more effective. The Cap'n Ok Cap'n, how do you 'service' that archaic AF ? And how do you know it is more effective ? Do you mean removing dust and dirt or helping with performance ? Inquiring newbies want to know. And why would anybody want to keep the greasy thing around if there is an easier way to service than replacing a paper element once/year. |
