Air intake

Depends what was sucked in; but did not really matter too much on these older engines. You find some motorbike engines without filters too - it's just taking a risk, but often they are owned by people capable of doing their own maintenance.

The reason I ask is I have a Walsh 2LW with a bright orange flying saucer filter. It looks so wrong I want to get rid of it and replace with an original intake.

I was a little worried about what damage, if any, unfiltered air may cause.

 

I also have one with the Walsh's orange filter and have thought of replacing this with a trunk.....however after 11 years I think I would miss it as it provides a useful leaning post when going past the engine.

 

I ran a BMC for years without an air filter it seemed ok.

PS - thanks to poaching, elephant's trunks are in short supply and Gardner's ones are probably like hen's teeth to get hold of.........
