"Is there an air filter on a 1

"Is there an air filter on a 1981 140 hp evinrude? And where is the air filter located. what does the fuel filter on this look like cause when I checked, it looks like just a mesh wire screen. Is there any other filter besides this one? The reason for all this question is that my motor is lagging and I can't even pull a tube and it's not working like it was before."
 
"No air filter and unless some

"No air filter and unless someone has added another, that screen is the only fuel filter. You need to be a little more detailed about performance."
 
"Sorry, But you made me laugh

"Sorry, But you made me laugh a little which I can always use a laugh. lol Where do you go boating where you would be required to use an air filter? I don't want to go near that waterway.lol By the way the first time I cracked open a cowl I do remember looking for the air filter.lol There are or could be bug screens on the openings of the cowl.(not always though) Check those. The bugs where I live make my engine run better though. They have pretty high octane from sipping on the beer cans the kids leave at the lake and such.lol So I just leave mine off. lol Is the fuel tank where you found the mesh screen filter? That is helpful info. IBNFISHN is right theres only one unless one was added besides the one in the fuel tank. By the way don't add one. You think it's laggin now? Please just take my word for it and don't add one. If anything screen the fuel at the pump nossel.That shouldn't be necessary with the price of fuel but....(Ok I have seen screens elsewhere but not filters for those who picked up on that.) And what tube were you yanking on? Never mind don't answer that question. This is a general rated forum. lol Sorry Riley, but then again I'm not really you have made my day. lol I don't mean to make yours lousy. If I did? Then I am sorry. lol Again IBNFISHN is right you need to tell us more detailed info on the performance of your engine. Like when it is crapping out? In the lower end, mid, upper end (rpm's), when it's hot, cold, after you hit it across the lake,river, waterway, etc.. and then shut down and try and start it immeadiatley after the short shut down? Or does it run bad from the time you start it till you shut it down? etc... How long ago was "like it was before"? Last season? I smell alot of different fishy fix's. But this isn't the fishing forum.lol Oh God help me stop...lol
I really am laughing out loud! If you don't reply I'll never know if you see this and how much you have made my day,please reply, please. Hey thanks a bunch just the same. lol smitty


P.S. You should join this forum you'll get more responses if you do. At least serious ones, more so than from us out of work comedians. Ok i'll be good.lol My sides are hurting form laughing anyway. Have a great day!"
