Somebody may have put him together that way.. :shrug: The throttle assembly is just a little bit goofy looking and it's a sidepooper too.. which would be right for a Skat Kitty I guess.. :shrug:
The prefilter looks like regular old household screen.. Those air filter / choke arms were used quite a lot on the two stroke vertical shaft boat motors with a diaphragm carb..
But the arm and air filter belong together.. :mellow:
It might belong that way.. :shrug: I've got at least one of every oval air filter they ever built I think.. I KNOW I have a couple of these ones..
