Chrome Air Cleaner Questions...HELP??!!
boristherat - November 30th, 2007 at 08:11 PM

Ok....so I know that I am as useless as tits on a bull.

I have just bought myself a Bugpack air cleaner for my stock 1300 with a Solex. My question is, when trying to bend my breather hose around to fit on it snapped, will I need to refit another before I drive?
Also....the other wide hose that connects to the standard cleaner, there is nowhere to put it on the new one, what do I do with this.

Sorry to be so silly, but I am just learning about these things.
Thankyou in advance for your help.

ull just get a bit of oil mist around the engine bay till u fit a new one but i wouldnt drive for too long with out it
the cardboard preheat hose just remove and cover the hole in the tinware to stop hot zorst gases coming up

the chrome pancake filters really arnt the best thing to put on ur engine, theyre just for looks and noise
stock oil bath filter heaps better and run better too
