Dave Baker Posted September 23, 2020 Report Share Posted September 23, 2020 I'm looking to get away from my oil bath air cleaner and use a paper type, but use the stock air cleaner housing . What do I need to cut out of the housing and what air cleaner element fits in the housing? I thought I would ask before I mess up a good housing. any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg g Posted September 24, 2020 Report Share Posted September 24, 2020 This procedure has been documented a couple time on this site. Try a search or look in the resources or tech section for a couple procedures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eneto-55 Posted September 24, 2020 Report Share Posted September 24, 2020 Maybe your decision is already an informed one, with no more questions about how well the oil bath filter works, so while hoping not just be a nuisance, if you haven't already, many of us here would encourage you to read comments here about this as well.

Eneto-55 Posted September 24, 2020 Report Share Posted September 24, 2020 Fair enough. Sometimes the search feature doesn't work real well. It's hard to know what search phrase or word to use, and partly also due to terminology changes over the years. (For example, in the older repair manuals, what we now generally call the firewall is called the dash still using the terms used on horse-drawn carriages.) Here are a few hits I got with a search on the word 'bath': https://p15-d24.com/topic/53301-changing-oil-bath-filter-to-paper-style-filter/?tab=comments#comment-568219 https://p15-d24.com/topic/27117-oil-bath-air-filter-questions/?tab=comments#comment-270569 https://p15-d24.com/topic/47639-lets-talk-oil-bath-oil-filters/?tab=comments#comment-505597 https://p15-d24.com/topic/53103-air-cleaner-air-filter-help/?tab=comments#comment-566633 https://p15-d24.com/topic/50969-air-cleaner/#comments https://p15-d24.com/topic/38456-exactly-how-does-a-carburetor-oil-bath-filter-work/?tab=comments#comment-403487 Some are discussions about dual carbs, and what air filters will work, how the oil bath works, etc. I know that somewhere here there is a lengthy discussion/'argument' about the relative value of the oilbath vs the modern paper filters, but I didn't find it, either. There was a recent program update, and some features may not be fully functional yet. Another issue is that when a person starts a new topic, it makes it much easier to find later if a number of descriptive "tags" are entered at the time of the thread creation. (Like in the example I gave above, if talking about the rubber grommets that mount to the firewall where the wiring harness & such like goes through, using the original term that includes the word 'dash' and also the common term 'firewall' will make it easier to bring it up in a search. Hopefully, at least.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most native forum searches are less than satisfactory. But you can use Google as the search engine and specify the site you want to search. Much better. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
