I had a bad one and it drove me insane until I figured out what the problem was...

Will do, thank you. :-)

What's the best way to seal it?  I figured it probably has a gasket of some kind between the duct and the plate or the duct and the air box holder, but I didn't see anything in any of the parts diagrams.  Should I just take the assembly apart, clean it, and put it back together?  I just went out and looked at it, and there isn't any obvious gaps or indication that any dirt is getting past there, but it may be hard to tell until I take it apart.

I know that silicon is not good with gas, do you recommend anything between the plate and the rubber duct, or just clean it and put it back together?

Thanks for any info.
