C15A air filter on carb too large

[Bob Carriere]

Hi Jim

I had a bad case of CFS...... been fighting a bad chest cold that is giving me coughing fits..... so I got some Codeine syrup which is great for taking trips without leaving the house....

Anyways, in the barn things seems to disappear at the best of time due to CFS fumes...... well I had a bad case and could not find my brand new NOS 1940 air filter.

Usually after an attack of CFS...... Can't Find Shit.... Grant will walk in the barn find the air filter then ask me.... would you pay $10 if I told you where it is.....????

So I found an old one I had repainted.... and took some photos and measurements.... it is exactly 8 inches wide...... so here is your extra clearance.... and when sitting on the table it is 5 3/4 inches high.

Throat size is the same on the original W 1 216 carb as on the early 261 carburator....... 2 5/16.

The inside stuffing is coarse horse hair or one hell of a batch of pubic hair.

Hope the pictures can help you find a replacement.

PS..... Cough cough wheeze glub glub..... wheeeeeee
