I re clean the crabs and checked the patcock it is running better now. I just need to adjust the idle. I have a new question. I notes when I got it in the garage that a black hoes that is coming from the bottom of the air box is leaking some gas. Is it leftover from the first issue or is it a new one? Thanks for helping
