having trouble with hole shot and idling. Pulled cover off carbs. and found the air silencer was missing could this cause my problem. ALSO MY gas bulb wouldn't pump tight, replaced. Compression test o.k. and also spark test o.k.

Is the make and model a secret, Rick?

What do you mean the air silencer is missing? If you mean the inner air box - the XP / GTs don't have one.
