how do i remove shoe goo'd air filter neck from carb?

[pjoseph]

any way to remove a shoe goo'd air filter neck from the carb without destroying it?

try heating it with a blow dryer, heat will usually soften shoe goo just a bit, maybe enough to get it off.

Shoe goo'ing an air filter, haven't heard of that one before. In the future try using zip ties or if you want an really secure way use small pipe clamps like I've done in the cold air intake mod. Both ways make removing extremely easy.

People here on RCNT have recommended others to use shoe goo to attach their air filters?!?

Really though, I would go back to zip ties or use small hose clamps. Heck even the large scale guys aren't shoe goo'ing their filters on and the air filters on a large scale RC dwarf those of the smaller 1/8th and 1/10th scale air filters.

News to me, too. I don't recall a recommendation to glue filters in place. If so, it would have been newbie advise that wasn't corrected. A zip tie is all that's ever needed on any filter.

Yes, like rolex said- sounds a bit odd, and wouldn't recommend as air filter maintenance is frequent, so removal is also necessary to check for stones or large pieces of debris that could damage your engine...
