hi kev - i have no idea what i just did - but some how i seem to have uploaded the picture.

the worst thing is - i actually have to teach a couple of ICT lessons each week...




cheers darren

nothing looks simular to me... i've just taken a photo of the pipe its right of the excelerator cable.. if this helps with location.

i could try to upload this picture. do i have priverlages to do this?

hi kev

- that was my assumption .. but i'm only guessing. its the only fat rubber pipe that come from the back / right hand side of the manifold.

my rubber pipe that comes from the right hand rear side of the inlet manifold and then reduces in size to fit onto the carburettor has deteriorated … does anyone know the actual name of this rubber pipe…and where i can purchase a quality replacement.

cheers Darren
