Howdy, Can anyone advise how best to clean/service an air filter for a 207cid engine? ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/YL0cDXdB/IMG-5082.jpg) All I show is a top filter that I assume I can clean with solvent and maybe oil. What about the rest? Thanks, Roman

Turn upside down and slosh mesh in kerosene or ? and allow to dry. Turn top up and oil mesh with a heavy #40 or 50 oil.
I would not attempt to get in the fiter can for fear fluid could get trapped in side.
It was a poor design.

So the top mesh on the above air cleaner is shot. It's falling apart and I am not certain that a replacement is available. I have an oil bath air cleaner(photo looks like it took a bath in oil) off of a 1936 engine that has the same size mouth opening, so could I just use that one instead? It is a mess, but it will clean up just fine. I have the 2 pieces soaking in diesel now. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/5HN26r5Q/IMG-5119.png)

I thought so. If I can find a mesh filter for the one, would it be of value to anyone?
