if you look on the CVT side of the machine up at the carb you will see 2 screws (pretty noticeable) that stick out a little (one screw on each carb) on mine one was colored a blueish color and the other one was either tan or had no marker on it at all. to adjust it you may want to take the plastic around the air filter off, makes it ALOT easier

I've got a pic of the carbs and can tell you where it is, pm me with your email address and I'll send it to you.

Don't use k&n oil on a foam filter, it's not the same stuff. The K&N oil is designed to wick into the gauze material of their filters. The foam filter oil is a tack oil, designed to stick to the foam filters. Use the right tool for the job.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

prairie,

I'd like to add that it's nice to see a young gun attempting their own maintenance. Keep up the good work and soon we'll be asking you for advice.

Lightman:

I too also have the twin air filter and did not know aboout the different oils etc. What is a "tack" oil and could you give an example of some common brands out there. This is all new to me but very informative nonetheless. Thanks

I use Bel-ray foam filter oil, there are many others out there. Soak the filter and then squeeze out as much as you can. I then put the filter between 2 rags, lay it on the floor and walk on it to get the rest of the excess oil out. The idea is to have all the cells in the foam coated with oil, but no excess oil filling the cells. Any excess will slow the air flow. When done right you actually use very little oil for each treatment.
