There was an old woman who swallowed a fly ....

I've spent some time giving the Husaberg a once over as prep for the Tossers-In-The-Tejera II trip in a few weeks time.

I cleaned the foam air filter:

• First washed with paraffin to get the oil and dirt out
• Then washed with water & washing up liquid to get the paraffin out
• Then washed with water to get the washing up liquid out

Now it's hanging on the line to dry.

you going to re-oil it ?

or is it not and oiled filter ???

 

[Greg Masters]

you going to re-oil it ?

Yes - when it's dried.

What oil should I use?

should've washed it with petrol, not paraffin

quick shake and re-oil it - job done

Would have been cheaper too - paraffin seems to have vanished off the face of the earth. Had to go to B&Q - £6 for 4 litres.

I can just imagine the old duffer going into the ironmonger and asking for a pint of Esso Blue
Should've used petrol......like the rest of the world

What type of petrol do you use, 95 or 97 ?

You obviously bunked off school the day they did 'reading' - the manual expressly says do NOT use petrol.

Just get on with your 70 hour service. There's nothing here for you!
