I fixed my buddy's bike like this:
I retrieved the nut and cleaned it with brake cleaner.
I sprayed the plastic where the nut is supposed to be
with brake cleaner.I took paper towels and sprayed them with brake
cleanerand cleaned the nut mounting area as best I could using right
angle allen wrenches.
I took Q tips soaked in brake cleaner and a hemostat and
cleaned the nut mounting area again.
I took epoxy and mixed it up.
Then, I took a cable tie, dipped it into epoxy and painted the edges
of the air filter nut lightly so as not to get any epoxy into the
threads.
Then, I stuck the nut in place. Next, I quickly threaded the wing
screw into the nut without the air filter in place. Then, I used the
wing screw to quickly push the nut back out and turn it 90 degrees and
pull the nut back into place....Finally, quickly unscrewed the wing
screw and held the nut in place with my finger for a minute.
NOW ISN'T THIS MUCH MORE INTERESTING THAN DISCUSSING PALIN? WINGNUTS
VS. WINGSCREWS?
careful with your air filter box mods blown engine alert
