Hold on. Didn't Dan say he has a round filter box? Yes the square
"imitation" K&N Filters have a hole and fitting for the breather, the
rounded, actually oval, "real" K&N ones do not have either the hole or the
fitting. It is not a plugged hole, it is just not there.
I purchased one, the real K&N at a Moss show last summer and have yet to
install because I am unsure of where, or whether, to connect or not the
breather. On the Midget it is a 1/2 in soft hose that connects to the rocker
cover. I looked at drilling a hole for the fitting but the clearance to the
carb is not quite there.
