Title: What is this?
Post by: stainesy on 18 October 2012, 19:20

What is the round thing with a tiny vacume hole on the end of my air box pipe? And why does a tiny vacume hose how from my air box to it?

Its a valve that draws warm air from the exhaust when its cold to help prevent the carb from icing up, looks like the pipe that goes to the exhaust is missing anyway  :grin: so you can bin it and fit the k&n

also what is this vacume pipe for? think the other end goes somewhere behind the carb
engine seems to idle abit faster and better when i pull it off.
