Nope, it's just a plain paper one. Maybe I ought to change
to a K&N one ? See if I get bigger particles ...

Somebody pointed that can be a spark plug piece. 
(thanks for the reply, by the way), which reminded me that some time
back (maybe a week or two) I changed the plugs. Maybe
I let something in ?

Well Alan, is yours an interferance engine ? Do you care to find out ? :^).
One WILD guess is that since the guy insisted that there is no way the

Thanks again for the replies.
