thanks i dont have the first clue as to why some on would do that is there a reason ? lol

They may have blocked it because it was bad. If you pull the bolt out, and hook the hose back to the air cleaner, and it doesn't want to run right, you'll know why they did that.
I hope the port on the bottom of the air cleaner was also blocked, or dirt can get sucked into the engine......
