I would be very careful taking that scooter to a $50/hr shadetree guy. They're fine for China bikes... I'd be hesitant to take a very unusual Honda to one of these unless I knew them very well.

Also, take a picture of the air filter for me. I'm curious what it looks like. If it's one I don't sell, I'd like to get it, or a good photo of it, so I can make a reproduction. If it looks like this one... I'm good.

The one I had was a Uni sea foam green colored filter. I ordered a foam one that fits the box. It didn't have the holes like yours. I thought I saw one in a website with rubber around it and paper element in the middle. Not sure what the original filter looks like.

Take a picture and post it, or send to me at my email below. Curious as to design.

Edit: Did it look like this:

I have the foam one like yours but no holes . Just one rectangular grey foam. The picture is the one I saw online but with white paper element. Not green

The foam one's get modelled like this sometimes. As you see, it takes less paper than foam for a filter. Main advantage to foam is that it's completely cleanable. Disadvantage is they're usually larger.
