    I don't have a pic, it's all in the haynes. :)
     
  5. il have a look bud cheers !! the top 1 with the hose pipe do i block it off not on other 1 !!
     
  6. basically....both servo take offs need to be joined together and then Tee off to a check valve (there should be an arrow on this valve....it points towards the front of the bus)

    fuel lines are obvious
    there should be provision to take crankcase gases back to the air cleaner...
    there should be provision for the fuel tank breather lines to form a closed circuit...one line from which will run to your carb (s)
    so with this in mind, and with the aid
    of a diagram you should be able to figure it out...
    bin the hose pipe....
    and if you decide to use pancake filter, you can run crankcase gas to these.....

    before you refit the servo hose, could you do me a favour and measure the outside diameter of the spigot that sticks out of the manifold?.....Thanks:)

  7. i think i got some of this i think still the 1 with the hose pipe how do i block this off is there any pressure here ? oh sorry for the supidity just wanna be certain !! allso crank case gasses are from were to air filters
     
  8. From what I can see you are desperate need of some engine tinware so I wouldnt be worried about hoses just yet.

  13. Run the pancake airfilters if you must but I would advise fitting the standard air-box. Hope this sint another senior moment but whydo you have a pancake filter on one side and a standard airbox horn on the other?
     
  14. It's all iv got the 2 horn bits to cover carbs up in garden the box part it's smashed was when I had it and came with 2 filters buddy so these will do for now just to get it up and running !
     
  15. Fair enough. Difficult to tell you where to plumb everything iy you dont have the full system so you will need to plug some connections. How you getting along with it?
     
  16. When I get home tonight ill plug what I no in and show what I'm unsure off bought Haynes manual to work if I get time !!! Cheers gor ur help though bud
     
  17. The stock carbs will run like an absolute sack of Marmite without the stock air cleaners and warm air intake. Make sure you've always got lots of petrol money
    :)

    Brilliant cheers for the advice think I'll be changing this once engine is in ill try get it I think !! Oh what's the warm air intake !!
     
  19. Assuming you've got all of your tinware, there is a piece which looks like a tunnel which goes up from the right hand cylinders, attaches to the over gearbox tinware, and out into what looks like a small bird bath. The stock air filter set up is fed warm air through this which aids warm up time
