A few days ago, I ordered this Empi foam air cleaner (Amazon link<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It’s a good fit, but I feel like it could use a half inch riser on top of the carb. The air cleaner sits at a little bit of an angle against the top of the choke assembly. Also, the position of the crankcase ventilation nipple on this air cleaner makes it a little too far of a stretch for the old hose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I stopped by O’Reilly this afternoon and picked up two feet of 1\/2 inch fuel line. The original hose is about 14 inches, so I figured that 24 would give me plenty to work with. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I tried various positions and routing, but “down and out” was the only one that would work. I could have routed it around the whole engine bay if I had another foot of hose, but who really cares how it looks. New, shiny rubber front and center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking of which, the old, fabric wrapped hose wasn’t doing too well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

That looks like the fuel lines<\/a> did. Don’t be fooled by the nice condition of the fabric covering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I happened to brush my hand against this “vacuum cap” and the screw fell out. It was a really loose fit. I’ll get back to that once I’ve finished the job at hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Once I gave in and routed the vent hose across the top of the generator, I had cut off a few inches to get a good, clean fit. Knowing that this new hose is going to be jiggling around rubbing against everything, I took one of the off-cuts of fuel line and taco’ed it around the new hose. A few zip ties snugged it up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

She’s not going to win any beauty pageants, but it’s fine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I had bought a pack of assorted vacuum caps off the wall at O’Reilly last year and never got around to replacing those homemade “screw jammed in a hose” deals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I manage to cut myself every time I’m working on something. This time, it was my super sharp pocket knife that tried to take half my thumb off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Last one…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And when finished, I chucked all of the old ones back in the pack, so when these crappy Dorman parts fail, I can go back to what had been working on there for years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
