Cleaning After Losing The Air Filter

[LIsurfer_]

OK I put a new Toomey 2 into 1 on my shee. It unassed The filter somewhere on the track. My buddy noticed it in a puddle when he passed it. So here are my questions:

 

What is the best way to clean the foam filter?

 

How much oil do I put back on it? The sheet that came with it said to spray it then wring it out. Not really able to wring it out so any suggestions.

 

How deep into the motor should I go to clean it out? I know I need to pull th ecarbs and clean them but after that?

 

Thanks for all the help guys.

I lost mine at the dunes last season.

I took the carbs off and apart, cleaned them realy good.

Took off my reed cages and exhaust.

I could see the backs and fronts of the pistons and they looked good.

I took my head off and everything looked good.

I could not see any sand past the carbs.

Put everything back together and it runs great.

Got lucky.

 

I don't spray a whole lot of oil on mine, but I also run a panty hose and an outerware. My filter is never dirty when I clean it, all of the and is caught in the outerware and panty hose.

Oh that has to hurt.

When I went from a Pro Design Foam filter with air box lid to the Toomey 2:1, I went from 280 mains up to 370 mains and the bike runs perfect.
