Has anyone found a replacement air filter like the original "Skinner ribbon air filter"?They were used on many early chain saws, lawn mowers and kart engines like the West Bend. I have the carburetor base plate and "tower" support plus the end cover.The filter is shown below on a Homelite chainsaw from 1960. Thanks!

Assemble with a wing nut and go. Cut a new tube to fit. Attachment: AIR FILTER 04.jpg (Downloaded 22 times) |

Sorry Paul, I haven't them for several years. I seem to remember maybe US Power had them or something from a Rokon sno-runner. Bob |
