Hello CB folk from KO 702
Hello CB folk, I,m a virgin at this forum thing so please forgive my mistakes...Stumbled on this site early this year and am totally stoked, love it.
it keeps me going with the restoration when time and money is short.The reason for finally going to air is I,m wanting to find out if the air cleaner
set up on the CB is an original set up or is it taken from another vw, as was so many parts of the CB. ie. mine is missing.Would appreciate members
thoughts on this.
Chow for now Paul, Hervey Bay Qld

Hi Paul,
It's always good to hear from other CB owners. I live in Rockhampton Qld (KO200).
I'll try get a picture of my setup, which I presume is the original setup but not sure, however there are people on this forum who know everything
about these buggy's so i'm sure you'll get a few replies.
Hey are you interested in posting a few pictures for everyone to see?
Catch you later.
Paul

Wow how quick a response from CB folk... Will have a go at the pics via 11CAB,s offer as am not the most computer savvy person, will sort this
weekend. maybe Bill Moore might be able to find some I send when I first got CB about 3 years ago. Not a lot has happened body wise, but motor has
been sorted, I believe it is the original.In short I new of this CB for about 10 years, and ended up swapping it for my 72 VW Kombi van slash camper.
At present CB is buried behind boat project, both going slow till I finish adult apprentiship as sparky, but daughter informs me CB must be finished
for High school formal!!
Thanks Paul from Rocky for pic offer will study, at present it has a donadlson type set up, will try to photo and put on site or have a Beetle set up,
but would like to go original if possible.
Chow for now Paul

I'm guessing but I believe the air cleaner may be from a Kombi - type 2...

Thanks for the pics folks...make,s me almost ashamed of my engine bay.. but one day I strive for the neat clean look. Paul from Rocky yours doen,t
look to far of the mark.Out of interest what Type 2 vintage do fellow CB peoples think the origonal air cleaner came from? Had a look at a Type 2
Repair times Manual I have and could not see any close resembelance...Will do pics of CB, but weather still challenging, "Bogged" is the first word
that comes to mind if I do move anything at this point in time.Chow for now Paul Hervey Bay.

This CB looks a bit rough around the edges, but looks like an excellent starting point for a restoration.
I've seen pics of much, much worse conditions.
cb John's CB comes to mind.
If he can R & R his, this one will be like a picnic at the beach.

air cleaner
I had to find one for my CB.
I found 3 different types.
When fitted:
One the inlet points to the fire wall
One the inlet points to the rear of the buggy.
One other also points to the fire wall but the outlet to the carby is not in the correct position.
I never really found what the correct one came off, I think it was a split screen bus, but not sure what year etc.
Also had trouble finding the correct elbow thats on top of the carby, so many pointed the wrong way! LOL
Everything 36HP !

Thanks for the info BUGBOY, scares me a little, looks like u put a lot of effort into the search, with no final perfect outcome...what did u settle
for? must say appreciate the pics and diagrams sent by fellow forum folk, it will make it a lot easier to finish the engine bay when the time
approaches, out of interest Pault from Rocky your regulator is shown to the side of bay not on genie, is your CB 12 or 6 volt? ie my genie is dead
looking into solutions, CB 702 had a make shift 12 volt set up using an alternator tacked on the side with an extra pully tacked parallel on the old
genie pully to drive it.Mmmm will cross this bridge later....Chow for now Paul

I have seen them since, just don't reall know what type of kombi its from?
