140 RX air cleaner

[Grow Pattern]

My motor ingested a few of the foam filters over time. So I stole the wire 
gauze element from the hose on the washing machine, and trimmed the black 
rubber edges of the part down to a smaller size.

They work great in the Bru-Line rubber fitting. If you put the curvature of 
the mesh to the outside it deflects the dirt to the sides and keeps the 
filter pretty clear.

Regards,

Eric.

P.S. Please replace the filter and reconnect the hose before your wife use 
the washing  machine. My former wife did not cite the incident in the 
divorce settlement, but I knew that I was never forgiven. (No sense of humor 
that one).
