D15b3 vacuum line question

If you're in a warm climate, you can just remove that vacuum line entirely and forget about it. Just make sure the riser valve is CLOSED (look or feel inside the air-cleaner snorkel: should be clear through and not blocked). Notice the exposed pipe under the valve on the snorkel? That should go to a heat-stove on the exhaust manifold, but the corrugated connecting pipe is missing. The supposed vacuum line on the distributor cap is just an air-vent. Leave it alone. The "vacuum line connects to branch" photo is taken from too close-in. I cannot tell what's around it. -- Tegger |

D15b3 vacuum line question
@ tegger:Thanx for the help.Sorry about the pic being to close up.Will
take a better one.Regarding the corugated pipe, this is my 2nd Honda and both had the same snorkel on the aircleaner and a similar pipe on the exhaust manifold cover.I assumed that it could be for colder climates to pre-heat the air.However on both Honda's thats missing.I guess since we here in South Africa generally have weather never goiing below 10 deg C that we dont make use of that.Thanx again |
