    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

GS 850 GLT original airbox

As I'm using the original airbox, I took airfilter out, only to find a mess that looks like deteriorated foam that would make a seal between top of filter and airbox. So completely removed and cleaned back to metal. Now what should I put back to replace it, got to be something that I can stick in place of it?
 
You will want to seal that up.

I have used weatherstipping like that on the airbox side covers. It last there for a few years. I suspect there on the airfilter it may not last that long, more gas fumes, and the sliding/shear motion of inserting the filter.

I think a replacement air filter has that seal on it. The air filter cost more than seems reasonable (or at least to me it did).

If you think an option is to ditch (or bin) the entire airbox and go to pod filters, I have seem lots of comments here about that not being so simple, especially on 850 for some reason.
