Pipe off manifold location?!?

  1. Can any one tell me where the pipe off the inlet manifold, just below the carb goes?!?

  2. Servo I presume. If you don't have servo brakes just blank it off with a bit of hose with a bolt stuck in the end and secured with a jubilee clip and maybe a bit of liquid gasket on the thread to make it airtight. ;)

    What he said^
    It's a blind pipe so doesn't introduce air into the manifold. No need to visit VZi. :)
     
  7. Is it? not questioning you're post @zed ...just seem to remember mine went up to the vac switch on the air cleaner....it was a long time ago though:confused:
    apologies if I was wrong

    Hang on...you're right...I thought you were pointing to the pipe in front, not the one at the back.

    :thumbsup: I could have worded that better. I meant the system as a whole with the thermostatic switch and the flap is blind so doesn't continually suck air through upsetting the mixture.
     
  9. think we're at cross purposes here:confused::D
    looks like there's two spigots sticking out of the manifold in the pic. (and a big fat finger pointing indiscriminately in their direction;))
    The front spigot with the pipe on it....That's for the air cleaner vac switch?
    The rear one with no pipe on it....that's blanked?

    You're right of course. :)
    Cancel (nearly) all the above, lightening the pic reveals the fat finger pointing directly at the servo vacuum connection.

    Anyway @icepug ...next time you want any advice, for pity's sake Man...use a slower shutter speed, or enlist the help of a small child to do you're pointing for you:rolleyes:;)
     
  14. I answered this hours ago on VZi :p
     
  15. And me!
     
  16. If you ask on VZi, they'll just call you a b*stard three posts in, then start talking about their knobs...
     
  17. Oi! I haven't got fat fingers. There dainty, like a lady's.
