Does it have a metallic mesh looking material inside the air cleaner lid?
If I remember correctly (it's been about 45 years) you can rinse them out with solvent then let it dry and re-oil.
Also drain out the old oil from the base, wash out the base with solvent, dry and refill it to the indicated level.
