Achto 27,609 #1 Posted March 6, 2023 (edited) The 953 that I'm working on has a Donaldson oil bath air cleaner. When it came to me the packing was gone from it. I packed it with coarse stainless scrub pads & inserted a screen over the top of them to hopefully ensure that no pieces of the scrub pads could get sucked into the carb. Is this a good idea or not??? If not, does anyone have a source for the correct packing? Out of my realm here. Edited March 6, 2023 by Achto 5 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHX?? 48,833 #2 Posted March 6, 2023 I think you are on the right path as long as your substitute packing can't be peeled off with bare fingers. The screen should negate things from being ingested? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
953 nut 55,324 #3 Posted March 6, 2023 The NOVO air cleaners that came on my 953s all have what appears to be coarse Stainless steel wool and don't have any screen over it. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squonk 41,158 #4 Posted March 6, 2023 Originality is nice but I put a regular round air filter and housing on my 953. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
