Any suggestions on best method of cleaning and oiling the foam air cleaners on my 65 mgb with su carbs.
I hear all sorts of different advice from using gas to clean and engine oil to using specific cleaners and special oil.
how much oil etc. etc.
thanks

Well, in my case I always used dish detergent and warm water. Soaked the foam, then squeezed out; repeat several times until the squeezed water is no longer dirty. Then rinsed in clear water several times, squeezed, then set in the sun to dry.

Never had a problem - but I guess it also could depend on the manufacturer's instructions.

Do not soak in petrol. These will ignite with one back fire through the carburetor. The reason that they should be bin.
