    I went ahead and ordered the new one, $720. I sent off the faulty one, and waited till they had it on the bench opened up to see - before I installed and fired up the new one.

    They'll fiddle about and see if it's fixable, otherwise junk it and move on.
     
    Oxbow Thanks this.

    Is preventing me from installing Fleet Air filters.
    The Baldwin filter is an enclosed, 1 piece, aluminum housed filter that Fleet Air doesn't have a replacement for.

    What I need, is 13" round Vortox canisters, with the bolt up from the bottom - and more importantly, the filter number so I can cross-reference with Fleet Air before buying/installing.

    Oh - and it's the Vortox 13" can with 7" inlet that I need the filter number for, to see if FA has a wrap replacement.

    Anybody running Vortox?
