Opened airbox to discover the silly little carb breather foams have dissolved and the rubber blocks jellyish.
What follows is the second best idea I had that day.
Started by beating a couple of bits of tube to shape as they had the same circuference as the silly rubber blocks
Drew on the back of them with white marker and routered a mating spigot in the airbox plate
Got some mower aircleaner foam and cut it to shape
Ready to not be seen for a while...looks like the second prep beer before routing may not have been enough
I have subsequently removed the pairs stuff and whilst welding the redundant holes now believe two 16mm engine breathers directly on the carbs and sealing the important side of the airbox to be a much better idea. Make the air box only two hoses to get back on. Perfect 20/20 hindsite me...mebbe next time
