I took a closer look at the air cleaner yes has the steel wool and chicken wire does not seem super type or clogged but it also has a fiber type material on top under the cover, is that standard? I do plan to run it a bit with out the air cleaner to see what happens. Other good news previous owner found the original carb, (at lease original to him) says it ran the same as the replacement, but I plan to open it up and perhaps try different jets and power valves and do some experiments. I will start a new tread when I get into that and sure could use some advise.
