Interesting project

[M2M]

Can someone help me (correct me if I'm wrong). When you look at the parts break down, and maybe the one picture. Is there an oil filter on the GAZ B motors? Look on the side cover behind the carburetor.
Thanks

They did have an oil bath air filter. My guess is the hose would have been rubber rather than what was used here. I love these "KKAZ" carbys. There are a couple of guys in the USA on this forum who have one in their collection...but they will not sell!!!

What is the black piece behind and to the left of the carb?

There is something there in the GAZ B parts list.

That what started this stream of consciousness.

What is the black piece behind and to the left of the carb?

According to the 1949 GAZ MM parts book, it is a "Crankcase Ventilation" which includes a filter and an exhaust pipe and is a characteristic of a GAZ MM engine (note the part numbers begin with the letter "M-"). Here is a photo of the relevant parts (Subgroup 1014):

According to the parts book, the conduit from the carburetor to the air filter was originally a solid (metal) pipe with rubber fittings on either end (between the pipe and the carb and between the air filter and the pipe).

....and check out the shape of the engine compartment fuel line (180 degree bend at the end) in the parts schematic above.

Thanks for clearing that up.
