    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...

  • Returning Visitors

    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.

To start things off, I took my carbs off to disassemble and clean, all went well there. I took a look into the airbox and discovered holes rusted right through inside the box from the hose tube. I wound up buying one off ebay. thought I asked all the right questions and now that I got it and taking a look at it, the tube on it is quite loose and upon a closer look it appears to have started to rust away from the box. Is there any thing I can do to repair this?
 
What bike and airbox are we talking about? if you ad this info to your signature it would be helpfull to members trying to help you.

I see no rust hole I do see the vent tube pipe that a hose from the top of you valve cover should be hooked to. And the other air box from what can be seen in the pic does not look all that bad . If the little surface rust bothers you get it sand blaster and repaint it. I can't see a real problem here. Sorry:D

View attachment 18574 down inside where the arrows are pointing the tube is starting to rust away from down in there where it's attached inside the box.View attachment 18575 this hole is circled and it is very much a hole. i really can't get a better pic you just have to take my word that there is a hole. Do I need to worry about it? If so any suggestions on how to repair either box? to my understanding from reading many , many threads here, the airbox should be
sealed tight.
