I was looking over a parts diagram of my motor tonight, and I noticed there is a "deflector" part number 303680 shown between the fuel pump and the bypass cover. My motor does not have that part on it. What is the purpose of that part, and what problems could come from not having it?

My guess it was supposed to act as a heat deflector back in those days but none of the newer mtrs have them. It will probably work just fine without it. Besides it's NLA.
