I did not find a foam air filter on eBay, however, from general knowledge I can tell you that oil wetted foam is the most effecient filter media. It traps the most dirt, with the highest air flow. The oil wetted gauze (K&N type) lets a lot of air flow, but is not good at trapping dirt.
I used to have the Amsoil type foam filter and it worked great. Foam filters did not catch on in automotive applications,as they would last forever, unles you had a backfire, then they melted down. Most lawn & garden applications use foam, due to the dirty & dusty envirionment.
Make sure the foam is wetted down with a good, sticky filter oil, then squeeze out the excess oil.
