Had an air cleaner years ago.

If you look in the album in my profile you can see the Hexagon I bought a few years ago, with the air cleaner.

Re: Hexagon tool intake
Since no one has posted an actual picture to this thread yet, I'll post this from the H.A.M.B. Notice that the carbs are mounted backwards, which I understand is a feature of these intakes.

When used in a FWD Miller, the carbs were actually facing the correct way. The one with D shaped carb bases denotes it being an original one. The intakes with the kind of triangle shaped carb bases were repopped sometime in the 50's. That single barrel air cleaner is not one of the original designs. Neat though... |

Re: Hexagon tool intake
Actually both designs D shape and blended in carb flanges we're produced with a casting or pattern date of 47. The D shape is of the design more like the ones from 35 but doesn't mean it is from then for sure.

Re: Hexagon tool intake
The Hexagon intake is an excellent choice the mid riser height works extremally. The additional bonus of the carbs being rotated plus set so the generator mounts in the stock location make this one of the better choices for a dual carb intake. Many engines I have been part off run the Hexagon intakes their owners always have a smile on their face since the power output is excellent and the economy is not bad as well.
