1.5 airbox fitting - help needed

Post

Back to the top
Hi.

Need some help connecting the hoses and pipes on my airbox. See below.

Does the hose circled in black fit to the rocker top instead of the oil breather hose with the filter on that is there now?



What connects to the part circled in red. Anything to do with the green pipe you can see on top of the air box with a srew in it? There is also another pipe like the green one on the back of the carb but not as long, again with a screw in it?



And the same on this one. What connects to the part circled in red



Thanks.

Picture 1 "Does the hose circled in black fit to the rocker top instead of the oil breather hose with the filter on that is there now?" - yes mine does

Picture 2 - there should be 2 pipes, 1 goes into carb, the other goes into the circled part in pic 3

Thanks for your help. Does it matter which pipe goes to the carb and which goes to the end of the air box?

The pipe outlet at the end of the air intake at the front of the engines goes to the first outlet (nearest to the front of the car) and the other pipe coming out of the carb goes to the one at the back, it looks like the bit of pipe with the rubber hose and a screw in, in the 2nd picture if that comes out from the carb.

You also seem to be missing your cam cover as the cam belt and pulley look pretty close to that fuel filter and fuel line, you don't want that catching in the cam belt.

Thanks for your help. Yeah the green pipe does come from the carb but there is also another pipe like it but sorter which also comes from the carb. That one has a screw in it to. Not sure where that one goes.

I took the cam belt cover off to spray. Must get that put back on.
