Hi Everyone,
I've been doing some maintenance on a homemade tractor my Grandfather built (more on that Here) and recently decided to take a look inside the air filter.
Unfortunately, there wasn't any oil in it. I plan on cleaning the reservoir and putting fresh oil in, but there is something I'd appreciate having a little guidance on.
Take a look at these two pictures. It appears that the air pipe comes down below the oil level.
Is this correct? I'm not very familiar with how oil bath air cleaners work, but I would have thought there needed to be some clearance between the end of the pipe and the oil level.
The power unit for this tractor is an IY-69 Continental. Unfortunately I haven't found any literature on the air cleaner. If anyone has any insight on this matter, it would be much appreciated.
