This afternoon I installed the S&S stealth air cleaner and chrome muscle cover. I was able to get the
stealth air cleaner from a Morgan dealer (S&S was back ordered and no longer sell the Muscle covers)
I found 2 ebay bike suppliers who both had a dozen in stock. Part of installing the air cleaner, you have to
screw in a filler plug. Not sure whats it for but I could only get it screwed in about 1/2 way. Was afraid I would
break the mounting plate if I tried any harder to screw it in. That is what caused me to break a finger off the carburetor.
When I was mounting the air filter back plate to the carburetor I heard something snap and knew I just broke something.
I took the back plate off and a finger on the carburetor had broken off due to that filler plug not being screwed in all the way.
I dont see the function of the peace that broke off. I put the back plate back on and finished installing the new air filter.
I took it for a test drive and runs normal. Any one know what that little finger is for? Hope I dont need to replace the carburetor.
any ideas?

) on these machines are used in many different applications by S&S and that little 'finger' may have a use with some of the air cleaner installations on bikes.
