I replaced my Air Filter today, also took out the housing to clean the battery terminal underneath. I removed the Air Hose from the Upper part of the filter housing. After reassembling I seem to have a rubber gasket that fits over the end of the filter outlet but I cannot for the life of me figure out where it belongs. It does not fit inside the hose to the air intake at the engine, its too big. If I put it over the end of the outlet I cannot get the hose on. I find that I get a good seal without it. I know, I should have taken a photo or something. Its sort of oval with a flange . I cant see it in my Chiltons etc.
- What is it, what is it for.
- Do I really need it, there are no air gaps that could foul up performance and she runs great.
Helpppp
