Generator air filter cleaning
In the handbook of my Yamaha EF2000iF generator says to clean the air filter 'with a solvent'. Does anyone know what kind of solvent is best for this?

If it's like the foam filter used in the Honda EU2000, you can wash it out with Dawn to degrease it and then re-oil it with motor oil.
Are you sure? In my research, I saw a vid that showed a foam type filter first being rinsed in a 'high flash-point solvent' whatever that is, then washed in dish detergent and then rinsed in water. It also claimed that motor oil doesn't work good for re-oiling it.
This was a larger filter than mine, but it would seem the principle would still apply.
