I lowered the cup off the air cleaner and noticed what appeared to be an oil/gas mixture in the bottom of the cup. Is this normal? Also, how do you service/clean the air cleaner.

How you know it's oil/gas? in reply to Bob Johnston, 10-05-2004 07:32:19

Is it milky? That's water/oil. Really good trick getting gas in there. Talk to the guy that fills the gas tank.
Anyway, clean out the filter and fill with engine oil to the fill line.
You can tug-tug to remove the element (needle-nose easy does it) to clean. If it's been forever you might have to pull the cleaner off and slosh some solvent (paint thinner is fine) around in there to dissolve the crud to free up the element.
I put cork gaskets on it.

I'm not sure how you got gas into the air cleaner.. even with a full carb.. I believe it should leak down into the block before the air cleaner as it is higher.

Water/oil on the other hand is more common depending on your humidity and how often you service it.

There is a wire mesh held up in the canister with a retainer ring. You can remove it and soak it in kerosens.. or diesel.. or mineral spirits. If it's real dirty.. consider taking the whole breather off and cleaning it inside and out.

Once done.. shak out the solvent, ad reinstall the mesh, add oil to the fill line on the cup.

While the meshe may be available at some of the online parts houses.. many have reported that the stainless steel 'scrubbies' like wallmart and the dollar store have work well.. just stuff a bunch of them up in there... but don't use steel wool.. not the same. In any case.. your mesh is probably fine and can be cleaned..
