Shawn would have preferred to replace the filter, but it was the Sunday after Thanksgiving and I was terribly lucky he got a filter cleaning kit. Cleaning the filter is a multi stage process. First Shawn throroughly sprayed it down with the cleaner. Then he dug some holes for Melissa to plant Daffodil and Iris bulbs, while the spray set. Then back to the kitchen sink to rinse off the filter. The reason why Dinan no longer recommends cleaning the filter is the sensitive HFM inside the canister. The HFM measures how many pounds of air per minute the engine is injesting. This ligature can easily be contaminated by the oil applied to the filter outside after it is cleaned. Shawn cleaned this too.
