Drying the air filter

[zinkerone]

Any suggestions on drying the air filter after cleaning it. I don't have an air compressor. And if memory serves I think that I heard you can use clean towels, but that can't possibly get all the water out?

Roll them up in dry paper towels .It sucks the water out and works well for a quick dry method.

I just can't help but think there is still water in there. But that is my only option at this point as I don't even have a blow dryer anymore (burns your hands:whhooo
Anywhoo... I'll go with the paper towls and ALOT of air filter oil... Thanks

you dont wana use too much air filter oil, air wont be able to pass through as well, adn could cause you to run extremely rich.

use a hair dryer and wrap and scrunch up in paper towel to clear any remainding water

I think it's easier to have a spare handy. You can let the other one dry out on it's own and use the spare if needed.

Now there's something I didn't think of:clap: I have a motor saver filter on it now... any idea on the cost of a spare element for it ($10, I hope)

You could try rolling it up in a cloth towel and twisting the towel as if wringing out the water. It will compress the foam and squeeze all the water out. It's the method I use and is pretty effective.
