Howdy, low 'n' slow fliers;I have a new air filter for the A-65 with Stromberg NAS carb. The carb air box is pretty much the stock Cessna 120/140 type with AirMaze filter. I don't have it in front of me, but I believe the filter says to soak it in engine preservative oil and let the excess drip off, before installing it.Any service tips on this type of cleanable permanent air filter? I'm sure it needs some sort of oil to entrap dust and particles, but engine preservative oil?Low 'n' slow since 1934... that's 71 years!Oscar ZunigaSan Antonio, TXmailto: taildrags(at)hotmail.comwebsite at http://www.flysquirrel.net________________________________________________________________________________
