Apparently you have determined that it is a different item than what is used on the B230F engines?

What do you mean when you say it is "shot"?

I have cleaned many of the oil separator boxes on the B230F engines. They are quite robust. I remove them and repeatedly strike the surface with a small hammer. The opening on the top can be reamed with a 3/8" twist bit.

After loosening all I can with the hammer I shake out what has been knocked loose and then soak the interior with gasoline. Then it gets a good rinse before reinstalling it.

I have read here several times that the aftermarket replacement units are absolute junk and are prone to fail at the seams.

Good luck,
Randy
