    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Airbox Breather connection

I took my airbox off today to clean it and seal it up. After cleaning it I blew into the part where the breather hose hooks up to make sure it wasn't clogged, and air came back and hit me in the face out of where the plastic connector goes into the hole in the metal airbox. Is this supposed to happen or do I have a huge airleak that makes my airbox junk?
 
if you look inside the box you will see it just has small openings on each end of the diverter plate in there.. it probably just blew back off the plate..but take a second look to be sure its all clear up there too. If theres no holes in the box itself then it should still be good...if not i have one up in the garage if you need one.

air is coming out through the holes inside the box, so that's good. But when I blow into where the breather hose goes though, it comes out around where the breather hose connects, as if the hose is cracked or something inside the airbox... would that be the case (a crack) if air is coming out there? should this be airtight with air only coming out through the inside of the airbox, or this just normal? I know this is kind of a dumb question but the whole point of taking the box off was to make sure I don't have any airleaks that will effect performance.
 
give me a few minutes..gonna pull the one off the shelf and check it out... be right back.
 
OK...Took mine down. I plut the air compressor nozzle into the nipple. No blow back from it. Dumped everything into the box.. so maybe yours is broke off inside under the diverter plate. This one i have is in real good condition. It doesnt have the snorkle or boots but you can swap yours.. let me know what you wanna do.. Pm me.
