Airbox sealing question
Bowf:
I've just bought a C10 and am cleaning it up.
Inside the airbox, the rail at the front seems a bit warped. I notice a gap of a few mm where the breather vent comes in.
It looks like unfiltered air and particles could get in through this gap and get drawn up into the carbs. Should I seal round this rail? The four vertical tubes have been removed for cleaning.
DC Concours:
You may try some Permatex silicone sealant.
In these bikes unfiltered air gets in through other gaps as well.
Bowf:
Thanks, DC. Sealing done, just waiting for it to dry. Would have been easier if I had tiny hands!
Where else might unflitered air get in? Airbox to carb rubbers? First time I've seen a bike with these funny spring clips.

if you got the box off.....do the full repair to prevent issues.

Good idea, thanks. Now done as a preventative measure.
