Thanks for everyones input, (especially Richard for taking so much time to find those links- Only one was really relevant though) but my query was really only regarding availability options of replacement filters, as filter location is decided as per pics, and is on my Plunger model....so swing arm tips just don't work- thanks but sorry
GB- I did originally have mine in a similar place as yours (see pic #2), but that doesn't work for me this time. I started to make a custom toolbox based on the shape of what I believe to be a rigid toolbox that I bought at a swap, but its bottom front corner is where the filter was before, attached to the mudguard, . I needed the toolbox to house the battery, but only made it as far as functionality stage- works for me....and there's a bit of real estate behind the battery that's just a perfect size for the filter (who needs tools
).
Trevor, I did some research but the results showed B&S filters with 3/4"x 16 threads and mine is 16mm x1.5 (M16) I'll keep that in mind for later, but today the aforesaid happened
....where I'm being vocationally challenged tomorrow,......
, challenged me enough to no longer be there >one day was a challenge, two broke the camel<, so had the day to chase around and ended up at the Bike shops, where I spoke to Jill who works there but was next door tending to Tom at the Gutzzi shop, and she said they sometimes have the Champion ones but wasn't sure this time, but I ended up with a $19 filter, but wasn't until I opened the box I realized it to be an 'Emgo' product....has anyone had experience with these??
It's 10mm shorter @ ~67mm, see pic #3? which is ideal- will save me removing the whole deal for oil change, but no big deal either...reckon I'll give it a go, hopefully can't be worse than no filter
