<div>I cannot be sure but it looks as if this is fitted with a dry
filter element. The originals had an oil-wetted element that had to
be washed out in paraffin from time to time and then re-wetted.
Rather messy.</div>

<div>I don't have a filter to hand but perhaps the wetted type did
not block the breather pipe.</div>

<div>This picture shows an original BN1/2 front air
cleaner back plate and an original air filter element.
<div>Interestingly when this unit is assembled the "O"
ring of the element almost completely blocks off the engine
breather tube in the back plate which renders the engine breather
system inoperative. </div>
<div>Bit odd?</div>
