    Its possible, but its a bit of a nuisance, but since your already hand priming thats the biggest nuisance.

    hi thanks for the reply been out there today took the air box off and had a good look
    looks like a 5 min job its so annoying that I can hear the air getting in but can not see any thing and having to use the hand primer puts me in a mood :angry:

    must be a common problem as R A C was only here for 2 mins
