Note that the hole for this tube is visible from the *inside* of the air
housing if you wedge the metering plate open and shine a light
down and to the left. This is actually a big help.

Also be aware that the o-ring is held in place by a brass
top-hat retainer pressed into the housing. Mine was missing,
making it impossible to keep the 0-ring properly positioned.
I didn't know this part existed until Rob Grady suggested
I check for it.
