Purpose of mysterious "air-box" attached to air cleaner snorkle of 22R?


Recommended Posts

Howdy all,

I am consulting the collective oracle of older carburetor-types in search of the purpose of this mysterious "air-box" device, ( behind radiator overflow bottle and next to white arrow in picture).

I am in currently doubt of it's actual usefulness on a well-tuned 22R motor assembly and I am  just running the stock plastic flex-pipe off the air filter out to the front of the grille, next to the radiator.

Thanks for any informed thoughts or speculation.

BR,

Thanks Linda,

I wonder what's inside?, or if it's perforated, since I don't own one because my coach battery used to be there. (before I converted to 6 V deep cell x 2 in the back)

Might have to call Yodaman on this one.

Ah, more is revealed in the thread!   It is an Air Silencer/ Resonator box!

I guess it blocks the "hiss" of the intake and resonation of the air-cleaner chamber at certain RPM's...

Good thing I don't need one, they are not to be found...

"they are not to be found... "

You'd think that after all this time, I would have known better than to have made such a foolish statement in present company.

Thanks Linda, I'm on it.
