how is the air filter housing secured to the air horn on the top of a mono rochester b? there are no threads for the rod in the cross piece on top of the carb. is the rod supposed to be a press fit? | | | | | Joined: May 2002 Posts: 155 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: May 2002 Posts: 155 | Some air cleaners use a clamp around the horn instead of the post..
You could cut threads in the bar for a post...

i may just jb a threaded rod into the notch on the cross piece. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2007 Posts: 863 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Mar 2007 Posts: 863 | There is a Clamp on pipe with a cross bar and centre rod with wing nut which holds and supports the oil bath air cleaner.... | | | | | Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 73 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 73 | thanks. anyone have pictures? | | | | | Joined: Mar 2007 Posts: 863 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Mar 2007 Posts: 863 | I'll try to send pics tonite.... | | | | | Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 8,597 Riding in the Passing Lane | | Riding in the Passing Lane Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 8,597 | The oil bath air cleaner does not fit that carb. It is a latter model & uses a dry cartridge type filter.
