the pipe connecting the air cleaner (thats the spongey thing or maybe a wire mesh covered paper cone) to the round hole on top of the carburetor (the hole is there to let air in you know) secured with tightly fitting cable ties (also known as zip ties).
I can rewrite it with shorter words and pictures if want me too (maybe not)
ORIGINAL: thopper
The seal is only the attachment of the cleaner to the carb ....what the heck does this mean...see above for context.
