[C320-list] Engine ate what it shouldn't

[Jeffrey Hare]

Mine has a foam "thingy" (technical term) inside the air intake box.  Some
do, some don't from what I've seen personally.  Similar to what my lawn
mower has in it. :)

I didn't think any of the marine air intakes had a air cleaner of any kind,
just a flame suppressor.  I will have to check my Perkins in the spring when
it gets unwrapped.
