hello i am new to this board, so hey! i recently aquired a motion style air cleaner and was wondering how it installed on a carb? what holds it to the carb? if anyone can help me, i would really appreciate it. thanks.

These ac were held in place by a U-shaped bracket that is positioned like an upside down U in the center of the ac. There is a hole in the center of the bracket that the carb stud went through. The bracket is positioned underneath the inner screen and straddles the inside of the ac holding it down tight against the carb. The nut and large washer holding everything onto the carb stud, goes on the top of the inner screen. Very easy piece to make. 99% of the used ac I have seen are missing this bracket.

If you mean the the round air filter with the screen on top. They have a strap type clamp that uses the center carb bolt. The ends of the strap run across the base and is about 5in long.

Dave, our replies were 1 min apart. By the way, you want to be careful using this air filter. They were known to ignite if there was a carb backfire.

Yes there was some type of air filter in it.
