Doesnt sound right. I think the drain hose is supposed to have a one-way valve on it. If the hose had been sucking stuff up I'd expect to find a lot of dust/grit in the airbox. When I first got into mine there was enough rubbish to plant a palm tree and call it a beach. The filter (original) was coated in what looked like treacle too; from other posts, the airbox does seem prone to sucking up the worlds detritus.

Clean it out, replace the filter and carry on! While you're in there I'd strip the carbs and check that there's nothing nasty in there too.
Well there is a smattering of junk in there - kinda small rock garden rather than palm tree plantation :-D

thx for responses
