ICT installation.. last few connections

Discussion in 'Mech Tech' started by grub, May 17, 2022.

  1. Apologies to those of you getting bored with my stream of questions regarding the installation of my Weber 34 ICTs on my type 4 1700!
    Nearly there lol.
    Just a question re what to do regarding the connections that previously went to the OEM air filter set up, namely what to do with the following..
    The vacuum dizzy has 2 blue tubes coming from it. The one on the top goes to the LH carb, but what about the one on the left (used to go the bottom of the air filter).
    What do I do with the tube coming from the breather box- just put a little air filter on the end?
    Finally, there is a take off on the right hand rubber elbow that goes to the manifold for the servo pipe.. shall I just block this iff (again, used to be a tube test went to the bottom of the OEM air filter). 20220517_162857.jpg

    Leave it off, it's a retard thing for US idle emissions.
    No, connect it to the top of one of your air filters, or (and you'll be frowned upon by motorcyclists for this :mad:) stick the pipe out of the bottom somewhere.
    Yes, like you have. Neat use of the existing servo pipe BTW :thumbsup:

    Shouldn't this one be shoved on further?

    Beg pardon, it's one of these...

  5. Thx Zed.. yeah, I got 6mm ID fuel tube.
    Shall I remove that left hand blue pipe from the dizzy completely, or just leave the tube on but not connected to anything - or doesn't it matter either way?
    thx again.
     
  6. What’s it connected to at the other end?

    I don't think it matters. I was going to say block it off but TBH I don't know if that might limit the action of the bit you do want by causing a vacuum inside. Perhaps a short piece of tube as a breather would help keep the muck a little further away.
     
  8. Have you got a balance hose/pipe between the two manifolds? Only way you will get a decent steady idle.

    Yes he has the original servo/balance pipe fitted. :thumbsup:
     
  10. Which air filters did you get with the ICT kit?
    If it’s the flat pancakes chuck them over Snottys fence they are nowt but trouble.

    Don’t do this, Greta will hate you. The crankcase breather should be connected to one air filter and the fuel tank breather to the other.

    Short term while he acquires a fitting. :)
    Or forever if you are me. It doesn't need a vacuum and I'd say with our type filters it doesn't get one anyway. And, as I so love saying, my crank case doesn't detectably breath anyway.
