Re: Air Intake Cleaning Leaks

["jtrealtywebspannet" <jtrealty@xxxx>]

With the air box removed and the engine running OF COURSE YOU WILL 
HEAR A LOUD SUCKING OF AIR!!!. This is normal, it is the air going 
into the air mixture unit. As long as you are looking around make sure 
that the plug is still in the metering unit over the mixture screw. 
You can also check, with the engine off, that the sensor plate is 
centered and not rubbing the sides, the three brass screws are LIGHTLY 
seated closed, and the throttle returns all the way to idle without 
sticking.
