Found this was just vinyl taped while cleaning the engine up

[CurrentObsession]

Plastic 90 degree elbow that comes off the side of the air cleaner/flame arrester cracked. Can this small part be easily replaced or is it part of an assembly. I couldn't find the area of the website were you enter the engine number and it provides exploded views.

​Also, how do I get the air cleaner/arrester off to clean it? I don't want to force anything the wrong way and break it.

Thanks

Its part of the flame arrestor item 37

Its not critical, many just have the hose end next to the arrestor as in mine
