If you can't fix it with a hammer, it's an electrical problem

The instructions are to connect the PVC hose to the suction side of the intake (normally where the windsheild wiper vacuum comes from). Does the Offy aluminum 2X intake have a port for vacuum? | | |

I've read that in addition to not polluting, or smoking as your are driving when the oil sucked out of the road draft tube burns on your exhaust, or dripping in your driveway, doing the conversion gets you a slight improvement in gas mileage.

I was shocked when i cleaned the bowl the first time how much it was. Frank | | |
