There are no numbers which I am guessing someone had already taken it off and cut the wires? My question now is how do i get that connector back on? I cant get the metal crimped thingy out of the plastic holder...or do i try to get the wires crimped on without removing the metal connector?

I checked all the gas lines around the engine including the entire fuel ring return line and feed line...i even checked the fuel injector base thing tightened all that down, the only other thing that looks like it could be leaking is the tube that goes from the breather thing to the dipstick tube... also it doesnt leak when the fuel pump is on only when the engine runs > > As if it had been drawn in from the air cleaner? > Consider wiping out the inside > of the rubber intake elbow and the throat of the air > cleaner.
