For mine i use filter oil on the air filter as well as grease the end of the foam which helps alot.I usually have to clean my gen once a season(carb area due to sticking).

I assume the oil is something like K&N recharger oil?

When you say "grease the end of the foam" I see you putting axle and bearing grease around all of the edges?

smart man!

i just use air filter oil for a dirtbike spray it on and then compress it.These champion filters werent designed for the conditions i use the gen in.Sand will get thru anything it can so i figured i would at least slow it down,I ought to take a picture of the filter next time after a long weekend stay if the wind picks up.

I've run mine down in the sand on a piece of plywood but mostly in the back of the pickup. Since I haven't used the air filter oil I ought to take a picture of the air filter and beginning of the carb air intake for comparison purposes.

Air Filter
1. Remove the snap-on cover holding the
air filter to the assembly.
2. Remove the foam element.
3. Wash in liquid detergent and water.
Squeeze thoroughly dry in a clean cloth.
4. Saturate in clean engine oil.
5. Squeeze in a clean, absorbent cloth to
remove all excess oil.
6. Place the filter in the assembly.
7. Reattach the air filter cover and snap in
place.

Opps... thank goodness this thing was $300 just in case ignorance isn't bliss here.

I'm getting ready to add some Stabil to the gas and will do what I ought to on the air filter. I'll take some before pics to show what my lack of knowledge and maintenance might have wrought. I've only recently begun doing the maintenance on my own quads and so I started buying the air filter oil. It might be a nice recommendation for all of us to look into instead of trying to use engine oil. It sprays right on in a very convenient manner and I bet if folks were honest most of them haven't been treating their air filters with oil
