This is probably a dumb question, but is the hole in the base plate of the air cleaner for the oil breather tube:

I'm referring to the hole in the top right hand corner.

Oh? SO just jamming the breather hose in there isn't going to work then? 😊 Where would I get a hose fitting from?

Yeah, definitely need a fitting... otherwise you've got a way for air to get in without going through the filter first.

For a hose fitting... Bunnings or SuperCheap is a possible, but more likely a Repco... you just want a 90 deg barbed fitting for that size hole and hose (so take both hose and air cleaner base with ya)
