Went lean...

Glad u found it. U were asked several times to check it and never did. A simple fix that wasted our time and yours. Kim
I was asked several times to check WHAT? I never did? This thread started on Wednesday. This is Friday! I'm not sitting around at my house all day, I've got a job that requires long hours going at it. What was I supposed to find? Prior to Tuesday this piece was blocking airflow, but I had tuned for it. After Tuesday I had inadvertently FIXED the problem, but had never realized that what I "fixed" WAS the problem because I didn't notice exactly where exactly it was when pulled that assembly off.

After meeting this guy, I had put it back in correctly. So, taking it apart at that time per your "asking" was supposed to find what? It positioned correctly? I was asked several times to check? To check that the part I moved into the correct position was in the correct position? Brilliant.

It was because I went in to tune, and was checking myself during assembly that I stumbled upon what was happening during previous instances of pulling off the air cleaner. There was nothing to "check" from the time of this event with my new friend.

If this was such a waste of your time, what are you even doing on a forum? Damn, what a a-hole response...

Do me a favor and never respond to another thread of mine. I don't want to waste your precious time. You've got squirrels to yell at, neighbors to yell at, and a blinker to cancel.
