flame arrestor/air filter

[boomerang]

OK, ive cleaned it and want to know if before re-installing it, do i oil the steel rings or just put it back on dry?? and if oil is required what type??? thx JOHN

I just put mine back on. No problems.

No oil required. Mine picks up a slight oil film as the season progresses. The engine oil breather goes into the flame arrester. I clean mine twice a year.

THX guys!! i know some of these type filters get oil, but wasnt sure about this one, and as you said frank the breather gets connected to it.
