Default Re: Vintage Cal Custom Fly Eye Air Cleaner - Wanted

Those style air cleaners are cool to look at but have their issues. If there is a backfire in the carb, fuel can be blown up into that style air cleaner. I have seen that fuel ignite and burn even though the engine is running. The next indication is the paint on the hood is blistering and smoke from the edges of the hood. My point is -- BEWARE!
