    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

i've aquired this 1981 model, and am working on getting it running again.
Unfortuneately i have very little knowledge, but am eagerly learning. So I have several questions. One being about the air cleaner.

In the assembly,,, the oiled element fits fairly loose in the box. It screws in tight, but there's a gap (1/4" or so) above the element, where it seems to me that it should fit tightly. I'm concerned with unfiltered air getting into the carb. Should there be a gasket at the top of the oval shaped element casing to seal it?
thanks
 
yes there is suspose to be a gasket on top, you can use weather stripping self stick foam to seal it up.

mine was the same way
 
ahhh, thanks for the info!

one more question on the same topic...

The 4 hoses from the carb that feed into the air filter box. Do those just just slip into the holes in the cleaner box loosly? or should there be an air tight connection there to? I'm worried about the same issue of unfiltered air into the carb.
 
The carb boots that go between the carb and air box should be pretty tight. You can still get these from Suzuki.
