air filter doesn't fit in space available

The air filter I ordered arrived. Problem is the gap between the carb intake and the gas tank support is too narrow for the air filter to fit. I'm thinking about putting a 90-degree elbow in there. Is that a bad idea? http://www.idealskateparks.com/files/carb_issue/1964_cl72_Scrambler_1.jpg http://w...

Hahnda-

Thanks for the clarification! Now I'll know which clutch plates to buy, along with a lot of other parts....

davomoto- Thanks for your info on the brakes. I'll open it up when I get it back from the shop and look at them as well as the bearings. So, if the brake is dragging, would it get 'easier' to push after it has cooled down? I'm unfamiliar with this type of problem, so I thought it was the bearing. I ...

It sat in my garage for a few years as my resources and attention were drained by career demands. Now I'm at a place where I can really work on it. Not attempting to restore this bik...
