Default stock 69 aircleaner

Hi Guys,

Just got an stock air cleaner for 69, since I've never seen one I am a
little puzzled. Top dome part comes out and there is a something
attached to it. inside i can see some kind of foam. I don't think
it's the one that is the one that does the filtering. Is it supposed
to be removable? Cause I don't seem to be able to take it apart any
further. looks like the whole top assembly is pressed together or
something.

Thanks,
Anton

Hi Anton,

The top of the air cleaner is holding it's filter. (as you discribe it as
foam)
AFAIK it is not removable BUT cleanable.
You are not suposed to take it any further apart.
You can clean it with some kind of solvent.

Good luck

hm, well that sux because the aircleaner was powder coated which means
the filter must've been baked, oh oh.
