Well that doesn't help work out how it got there.There goes my moving from Australia theory.Don't feel stupid for asking questions,my feeling is the only stupid questions are the unasked questions.After all that's what this place is for.OK the purpose of the air cleaner is to filter the air so that no junk goes into the combustion chamber,like dirt etc as that will put scores in the bore.The top of the air cleaner will spin around as it has a lip around the top to hold the cap on.If you just wriggle it around and pull upwards at the same time it will pop off.Just be careful as it could be a bit brittle.That's how I do it anyway.After you get it off there should be a filter element in there.Most likely it will be very very dirty.You can get news ones but over there I'm not sure where you would go.The best way is Bruce has a store here where you can get the elements and if the air filter box is damaged he has new one's here (Which when I start restoring my mowers with these I will purchase)(Well at least I think he has those one.I know he has the older ones.May have to have a look).I'm sure Bruce will have no problems sending them to you.You can get them from eBay and get them sent over,but it would be more of a hassle and I think the eBay ones are not as cheap.Bruce has some very reasonable prices.Hope that helps.OH yeah as far as your starter cord sounds like it needs rewinding.
