Hello all,

I have a 1983 VT500c. I had a fuel line fail on me and pulled the tank and air box to get to the line. I noticed when removing the air box that the rubber tube that goes from the right carb input to the air box wasn't attached to the airbox properly -- leaking unfiltered air in around it.

Afterwards though, I couldn't get the airbox back on both carbs without the rubber tube popping back off the air box. With the rubber tube in the airbox properly, it didn't line up to the right side carb correctly.

Is there something I should be doing? I tried a forum search but didn't come up with anything -- if I missed something somewhere, feel free to point me in the right direction.

Thanks in advance!
