Engine Dissassembly
Air Cleaner Operation
Combustion air comes from the fan blades on the flywheel
(the flywheel also provides cooling
air for the engine). Air
moves into the air cleaner body through
an opening in the
blower housing and
an opening in the upper body of the air
cleaner. The air has to make
a right angle turn down and
then another right angle
turn through plastic ribs to enter
the oiled foam element, Heavier particles will not
be able
to make the turn into the foam element and will fall, or
will
be blown out the opening in the bottom of the air cleaner.
Note that an optional paper air cleaner element is available
for this engine.
