Air cleaner and tube vibration

[Big Dog]

Has anyone had their air cleaner vibrate so much it has a hole in it from a bracket below it? Was out today and heard a "rattle" left side under the hood. Suggestions, anyone?

Sorry to hear that Big Dog. I am no help, but tommorrow I will check out ours to see if it is rubbing anything.

When I recharded mine it had a major dent where it is trying to do just that.

Tighten the clamps good and tight so it does not vibrate back down again. You can patch the torn area of the filter and keep it turned town so you can not see it. You still will have plenty of filter area.

thanks Ted, I'll try that this morning:yes:

Adjusted the clamps and tube, and used some trusty tie straps, second only to duct tape in uses! No more rattle or vibration.

keep the tube as level as possible, as you see the tube on the air cleaner is off center, turn the air cleaner so that the least part is toward the left side and the most part is to the right side.
now flex the air cleaner and make sure it does not touch below or sides, if it does change the position a little.
