Unless you're a skilled fabricator or know someone who is, disassembling the air cleaner via pete 23's method will yield you a piece of junk.
The design of the air cleaner (NOT "filter") is such that large items like straw shouldn't even get close to the mesh.
First off the straw has to get in through the mesh on the mushroom cap. That greatly limits the size of the particles that can enter.
Second off, the air goes down the tube in the center of the cleaner, where it has to make a 180 degree turn through the oil bath. Any large particles can't make the turn, and get stuck in the oil.
By the time the air gets to the oil-soaked mesh, only the real fine dust is left. Much of that gets stuck in the oil that's on the mesh.
If you're getting STRAW up in the oil-soaked mesh inside the air cleaner body, you're doing something very very wrong.
