I posted an earlier message about my 41" B firing on an open cylinder. I found out that the air fuel mixture was way too rich. When I leaned it out it ran OK but it lacked power. So then i took the elbow from the carb to the air cleaner off and it ran excellent when I made the mixture a little richer. So I took the oil cup off the bottom of the air cleaner and cleaned a lot of gunk out of it. my question is, Is there any other way to clean the air cleaner? And what kind of oil do I put in the bottom?

Andrew, I've got a 41 B also. I clean the filter in kerosene, then blow it out with compressed air. Fill the oil cup up to the markings inside with standard motor oil 30w,10w30 etc.

Hope this helps,

Mike

Andy,

As for me, I use a 10w30 oil in the air cleaner. If the oil is to heavy it restricts the air flow and if it is to light it can be sucked in to the eng. reducing the oil in the cleaner and fouling plugs. I also have to deal with the weather up here. 80� in summer and below 0� in the winter.
My 2�
