Default A $5 part *****kills***** a $4000 Generac generator

This rubber bellows is nothing more than 2 inch long corrugated and
flexible connector which provides a flexible hose connection between
the carburettor air input and the air filter's air output.


Can the air filter be moved further away? In which case a long radiator hose
with a 90 degree bend would provide the flex needed?

Or perhaps even longer and an S type hose would provide quite a bit of back
and forth movement?

Or perhaps dump that air filter and go to the automobile wrecking yard and
see what is available with the same size tube...
