Re: An Air Cleaner from a '33 - To Clean or Disassemble

Sorry for less than a good photo but I think you can clearly see the air filter retainer screw is on the backside towards the cowl with the wingnut handle on the inside over the manifold.
If in fact your throttle won't open all the way because the accelerator pump has bottomed out, then almost certainly the link is upside down as that is the specific purpose of the "hinge and spring" in the link - to allow the throttle to continue to open even though the pump has bottomed out. I continue to be amazed at the number of times I see this error in assembly. I'd fix it sooner rather than later before something gets stressed and breaks - only takes a few minutes. And remember the pivot screw should be left-hand thread unless someone stripped it before and perhaps repaired with a righthand. If so, use some Locktite as the normal action of the mechanism will back out a right-hand thread.
