air filter

Hello, I am working on ym XS400 just like a lot people here. I already rebuilt the mechanical parts twice, it was a dead bike and I am trying to revive it. It is now running, whoop whoop. I am stuck on a small maybe funny problem. I cant get the rubber parts that connect the carburetor to the...

Hi, I have a question about installing a new foam into the box filter. I have cleaned out the old original foam and scraped the glue residue on the sides. My question is do I have to glue on the new foam filter? Also, do I oil the UNI foam or not? On the service manual, it says it shouldn't...
