Hey everyone,

i cant see any photo
is it the two small triangles
if so remove the sticky mess and replace with new Honda filters or buy some foam filter and cut to shape
told you not to but oh no you knew better

Hey bald pig, i can send you some pre oiled foam free of charge and you can cut to shape using scissors.

I had the same problem so I purchased a large sheet of filter foam and oil.

Got plenty left :thumbup:

I had the same problem with mine, and I think I remember finding little foam pieces all around the airbox. Maybe give it a good once over to make sure it's all gone.

Found it in the carb today :(

Turns out my dad had some filter foam in his garage, so I'm all sorted now :)
