2000 artic cat 300 4x4 green.
possible problem with new filter:
*filter does not slide onto inlet shaft, it butts to it
*the old one came off same way
*definetly have the correct filter (matches old one)
*o ring does not appear to serve any purpose
*manual is not to clear on this just says to make sure spring is between filter and cover plate
*i'm not convinced the filter hole will line up correctly with inlet on shaft
This make sense? any help would be greatly appreciated thanks!
