Starting with 6M-18 you will get a good overview on how the THERMOSTATICALLY CONTROLLED AIR CLEANER works.

Also look at 6T for some information on the PCV, CCS (which the air cleaner is part of), Evap and CEC operation/components.

The heat riser tube has nothing to do with the choke.

RTFM ... Read The Factory Manuals... download 'em here

Yeah, I do need to RTFM. I have one sitting in the garage. Didn't think to look. I'm presently downloading the link as well. Pipe has nothing to do with the riser huh?.......All these years I thought it was a heat source to operate the choke on the quad.

Your opinion Tim, am I wasting my time with this setup? I'd like to mount it, but don't want to uck anything up. Good price if you ask me. More than 219 but less than 221, with shipping. That pipe was the only piece missing when I purchased the truck.
