    If I oil the filter pretty good and it drips a little, can that suffocate a carburetor? It’s on my motorcycle now and everything seems to be working fine, I’m just wondering I lost any power by possibly overoiling it. My bike doesn’t have sensors to affect, just an old school carb to the engine. I used the aerosol spray.

      If you have a cotton (not dryflow) filter, make sure to apply filter oil when cleaning as it is a critical part of the filtration process. K&N filter oil is available in red, blue, or black on our website knfilters.com. If you like the look of the filter media and don't want to apply a color filter oil, check out clear filter oil from our sister company Spectre Performance www.spectreperformance.com/884820-air-filter-cleaning-kit.
