Newbie here....just picked up a couple 2003 rx-1's and the one has a cracked airbox....at low end it has a hesitation and also only reaches about 9500 rpm's.....can the cracked airbox cause this.......also, I changed the oil and filter on them when I got them and (on the same sled) I seen a touch of fuel dripping from one of the carbs...it looked like it was coming from a probe(connected to wire) that goes into the bottom of the carb....it's held in by a brass nut...any idea's....Thanks, Dan

I have a plug & play set of heelclickers. Works great with the stock secondary. $150 shipped.

machz830 - welcome to the site.
Do what Turk says fix the airbox, some expoxy will do fine if the crack isn't too wide. Take the carbs apart and pinpoint where the leak comes from, fix the leak or your sled may burst up in flames.
Would you mind filling in your location in your user profile, it's a site requirement.
