At the front of my motor, but not attached to the motor there is a silver cylindrical part. It is about 3 1/2 inches across and about 1/2 inch deep. It is situated between the starter solenoid and the voltage regulator and is held in place above a hole in the housing by 3 bolts. It is attached to nothing and doesn't seem to have any purpose. Does anyone know what it is because I can not find it in my manual. Thanks.

It is an Air silencer. It is suppose to help cut down on noise, let air in and absorb din. It needs no service.
