mavfreak 11 #1 Posted April 28, 2010 OK here is my problem. (not only one according to my wife) but anyway. The PO had taken all of the tin off the top of the engine and lost the piece that holds the air cleaner housing on, if anyone has one could you take a picture and take a measurement of how high it is from the top of carb so I can try to make one. Thank you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TT-(Moderator) 1,162 #2 Posted April 28, 2010 The strap is just high enough for the bolt head to clear the choke plate when open. I assume you have the filter and cover, so you should be able to figure out the length of the stud (bolt) using that as a guide. But...... If you really need a picture and measurements, I can probably get them a little later. Or....... The B&S part number is 495077 if you feel like shelling out $7 instead of making one yourself. :omg: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don1977 605 #4 Posted April 29, 2010 Make sure that you do not have any small part that can come lose and get sucked in to the engine. Makes for a bad day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mavfreak 11 #5 Posted April 29, 2010 I am fully aware of that and it was taken into consideration while I was doing it but thank you for taking the time to remind me of that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shuboxlover 481 #7 Posted April 29, 2010 Mavfreak... I can get you a picture and dimensions, but it won't be until Sunday at the earliest.... I'll keep an eye on this thread, and if nobody has given you the info, I'll get it for you, sorry it won't be sooner. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
