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?

Acetone will work but might eventually eat the foam. I have been riding and racing motorcycles my whole life and servicing foam filters. Solvent is the best bet followed by washing in hot soap and water. After that use foam filter specific oil as it has a solvent carrier to get the oil throughout the filter then the solvent evaporates to leave a stringy film that catches the dirt.
