I suppose that I could use the old one as a pattern and make my own without too much trouble. Hopefully, I won't have to order a replacement from Barcelona. The old air filter was pretty sticky and doesn't really look like an off-the-shelf piece. About a pint of old fuel was emptied into my lawnmower.
The half gallon fuel tank is really nicely made and much more robust than I had expected. It also came with a headlight and taillight so that it can be registered. It originally came with white fenders, but the first owner bought the red ones to update the look. I stripped it down a bit, which took moments, hit it with some compressed air and then gave it a good washing, followed by more compressed air. He makes Kydex holsters and it was parked near his scroll saw so it's covered in black plastic dust.
Is it any wonder that both he and I had forgotten that he owned it? It looks worse than it is. It was in a side room at my friend's shop. I got a chance to clean it up today so that I can get an idea of what I'm starting with. Made in Barcelona, Spain and powered by a water cooled HRC (Honda) two stroke. The work begins on my 1997 Montesa Cota 315R trials bike.
