cleaning air filter question
Here's another dumb question but I can remember so thought id ask. When cleaning your air filter do you just use water clean it good with your fingers let it dry then stick it in a zip lock bag drop a drop or two of air filter oil in the bag and squich it around with your fingers tell the filter is coated with the oil?

I just put a few dabs of dish soap on it, then clean it with warm water. Then throw it in a bag with the oil once its dry.

i like to use methanol cause it will cut any oil. just go around to speed shops they can tell you who has methanol for sale. just dont accidentally put it in your gas tank.
