Heard a hissing sound from the engine (3.5V8 Hotwire Efi) today and on further investigation found that the small hose from the rocker cover to the plenum with a T-piece into the flame trap hose, was loose and half off . Pushed it back on to find a 2" split along it's length. Didn't' really interfere with engine running, sped up a bit when pushed fully home. Did a quick check and found one on eBay and ordered it.
For the interim I decided to secure the existing hose with a jubilee clip. As I did this I saw the other end that goes to the T-piece was off, the plastic T piece had snapped! Brittle as a biscuit after approx 32 years of hot oily air. Back to eBay for an Efi flame trap hose T-piece with restrictor.
Both should arrive by the weekend.
