Wtf is up with those filters? Every honda I've owned has had the same problem. Same thing with a couple lawnmowers. You'd think that someone would have sorted that out somewhere along the line......

I changed that filter recently too , along with the aircleaner, I just touched the old one and it crumbled to pieces, can it get into the carbs too?

Talking

OK I wasn't going to jump on the bandwagon till my coil packs failed, cause I feel like my 'Cane always ran good. But, since it is reported that doing this I gain 750g of extra weight I can carry, Well count me in . I did find stick coils and harness together on Flebay and I bought them. So I do have a little weekend upgrade to do on my 'Cane.

Not all chocolate I hope!

I think you will be pleased with the results.

Right I chopped up a Briggs & Stratton green foam airfilter to do the job
So I guess I 'm powered in part by Briggs & Stratton

Actually the B&S green foam is somewhat oil resistant

Any yeah the old foam winds up in the caps of the slides and then prticles
down the pilot air tubes which could cause rough idling

So pull all the caps off the carbs and go foam fishing while you are at it !

Do that, one of the cheapest parts I ever bought from Honda
I sure have to go through the carbs again before the sticky coils mod then.
