I replaced the missing oil hose and the air filter while I was at it. If it causes problems I&#8217;ll just disconnect it and put the old tube back on. Why replace the air cleaner assimbly? The mount had broken already and I repaired it with a rivet, so I took this opportunity to replace it before the rivet broke off and got sucked into the carb. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/robonza.com\/beetle\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG_9558-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-433\" srcset=\"https:\/\/robonza.com\/beetle\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG_9558-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/robonza.com\/beetle\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG_9558-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/robonza.com\/beetle\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG_9558-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/robonza.com\/beetle\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG_9558-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/robonza.com\/beetle\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG_9558-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First I had to grab some parts from the CarQuest to put a 90\u00b0 bend in to clear the carb. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/robonza.com\/beetle\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG_9554-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-434\" srcset=\"https:\/\/robonza.com\/beetle\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG_9554-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/robonza.com\/beetle\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG_9554-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/robonza.com\/beetle\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG_9554-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/robonza.com\/beetle\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG_9554-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/robonza.com\/beetle\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG_9554-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">EMPI sells breather hose in 1&#8242; lengths.
