GoofyGuy77. There are two types of filters out there. One is the Bracket Foam type filter. These are recognizable by the 3 screws that hold these in the air filter box. Then there is the original one that is called the fiber type. The fiber type filter can be washed and cleaned and re-oiled. This type of filter is used by those racing nuts, because they filter as well as foam filter, but are able to let more air at a given time through than the foam or paper ones do. If you have a bracket filter, you want to replace the foam. Bracket strongly recommends against washing the filters, because the foam can gum up and become clogged. If you have the fiber type filter, you can take the filter cartridge out, use the Fram air filter cleaning kit pictured below or something similar to clean and re-oil the filter. I found that the cartridge likes to get stuck and the little handle on that filter can not support the force needed to get the cartridge out. In those cases it helps to press the filter from inside the air filter housing to get it out. It helps to take off the whole air filter unit for easier working.<http://public.bay.livefilestore.com/y1pT8t_328pN8PXkPpY_jSsQG43gmBVkoZLZV4BtcK9NWDxhV_X3pYdvvaqmCCVcyAD1YdQCUvjZIXG9DE8EZDzGQ/EFB.jpg?download> The picture shows the Bracket filter to the left and the I think original style filter to the right.

One of the last things I want to to before flying is to clean the air filter. This is a circular air filter, same as in the parts and service manuals which is fitted to a C85-12 with the stromberg carb. Dumb question, but how do you get the air filter element out????
