AIR CLEANER FOR STRATIFIED SCAVENGING TWO-STROKE INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE

To improve the effect of preventing contamination of an element in an air cleaner. An air cleaner includes a first inlet (60) through which air is fed to an intake system air passage and a second inlet (62) through which air is fed to an intake system air-fuel mixture passage. An extended passage (72) leads to the second inlet (62), for example. A passage forming member (70, 204) forming the extended passage (72) is shaped to surround a periphery of the first inlet (60). The passage forming member (70, 204) forms a blown-back fuel diffusion preventing region (74) leading to the first inlet (60).
