Alan, your assessment of this issue was, as ever, spot on. Ever thought of
writing a book on this stuff? (:-)
I have used oiled foam filters for two decades now (since they first came
out for high performance dirt bikes). I also use one on my Jeep YJ.
On a small, high output motorcycle engine, the effect is great enough in
some cases to require rejetting the carb! They DO have to cleaned regularly,
though, and they WILL pass water through easily with any kind of dunking.
Thanks again, Geoff
