Air Filter Cleaning
Figure A1
•
Remove the seat (unscrew the knob under the seat & rear fender)
•
Squeeze the two tabs together as shown in figure A1 and pull the wire
retainer up and out of the air box
•
The filter may now be pulled from the airbox
•
Clean the airbox of dirt and clean the filter sealing surface of the old sealing
grease.
CAUTION:
Pay particular attention to clean any particles from the airbox between the filter
location and the carburetor.
NOTE:
Cobra has available a carburetor cover that allows easy cleaning of the airbox.
1. Remove the air boot
2. Install the cover (RCMU0109) over the carburetor inlet
3. Spray out the airbox.
Do not clean the air filter with gasoline or other highly volatile petroleum product.
Diesel fuel or kerosene would be preferred but caution should still be taken. Hot
soapy water works well.
1. Clean the filter in hot soapy water to remove all dirt particles.
2. Allow it to dry thoroughly.
3. Saturate with filter oil and remove excess.
