That gasket is now hard to find, Google Onan 122-0502 to search for one, you might get lucky. The Case website mentioned above has a solution if you can't find the original.

I think anything that would direct the air toward #2 cylinder insted of letting it escape around the oil filter would work. I have tried running mine without for a minute or two just to see how much air you loose and it is indeed a lot! Edited May 7 by sqrlgtr Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Streetrodchev 1,136 #7 Posted May 8 When my filter air gasket broke, I used weather strip glue to put it back on, and then ordered a new one. It stayed in place until I changed oil the following time, at which time I put a new one on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
top_cat 41 #8 Posted 5 hours ago Lost mine in the field a few weeks ago. Ordered one on EBay for $13.95. Found the original one few days ago. They are identical in fit and material. Hope this helps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
