clean out that air filter! 700

Brickers:

Had a free moment today and replaced my 745t's air filter. Very nasty, very gooky, very necessary.

In the process I found a BUNCH of crudoo in the recesses at the bottom of the filter housing, and even what looked like a mouse nest tucked in the back left corner (bunch of furry stringy stuff that looked like brown stringy hairy fiberglass insulation).

I'm guessing a rodent could have crawled in through the pre-heating hose (which is open at the end)and set up shop, but I don't understand how a bucnh of those helicopter seedling things (you know, the tree seedlings that look like part of a plane prop and float to the ground whend dropped). Where could they possibly get sucked in? The filter prevents stuff from falling in from teh top so... I;m at a loss.

Anyway, I vacuumed mine out and suggest you do the same if you haven;t looked in awhile. The crudooo can slip down and cause larger problems down the road.

Regards,
Rick
