Have never seen it accumulate that fast so I opened the airbox and discovered that my air box mod plate had come loose. I guess there was a lot of oil built up and it came out when it loosened? I don't know. Anyway gotta fix it first.
After cleaning everything with a strong de-greaser I took off as much of the jb weld and the other stuff (can't remember what I used) that was sealing it as I could with a grinder. My plan now is to use a combination of things to secure it. I will use ABS adhesive and JB Weld to fill in gaps but plan to strengthen the whole thing with an aluminum strip I fabricated from a shelf bracket.
I used a small plastic boat cleat with the bottom cut off and trimmed to size for one side. And fortunately I left about 1/4 of the tube from the original on the other side to put a screw clip in. The pictures below will help see what I am talking about.
So looking for ideas, suggestions, comments on anything with this because I am just winging it.
Bottom of pic shows the cleat JB Welded into place and the top shows the screw clip installed on the hose connector remnant.
It will look something like this when it is done. I may put some thinner cross pieces under the aluminum bar to add strength to the plastic plate. It will be glued in with abs adhesive also and then any gaps filled with JB Weld
