Yes, this last time the snorkel popped completely off of the ATM and when
I finally stopped and got access to the engine compartment the air cleaner
had popped loose from it's connecter to the body and was tilted.   I know I
secured it the last time I was putting things back together.   But I did
fuss
some more with the snorkel because I thought it was looser than normal.

Thanks!

Steven
