So either my wife or I must have hit under the edge of the deck and broke the tabs on the air cleaner box that holds the air cleaner cover on.
No big deal, I ordered an $8.99 replacement on ebay. (17220-ZM0-030) It arrived in short order, I think 2 days.
So I remove the 2 long bolts that hold it all together. (The box, and the carb)
This is where you need to be careful, as everything kind of just falls if you're not holding it when you pull the bolts. I disconnected the air line form the broken box, installed the new air box and connected the vent tube. Then when putting the bolts back in, I couldn't get them to thread. That's when I noticed the replacement box had to small metal sleeves in the bolts holes. I suspect different model years may have used different thinner bolts? I removed those and the thick part of the bolt (under the bolt head) then slid into the new air box which allowed me to thread them in.
Just a heads up for anyone replacing the air box.
