I know that a metal line that goes higher than the carb before it attaches to the carb is the way to go.The question is,do both need it? And,which is which? |

Both of mine are higher. If you don't have the metal tube, it's not critical. At least one of the tubes can be clipped to one of the front oil bath clips without pinching it. I'm not at home so I can't tell you which goes where. If no one chimes in by the time I get home, I'll check it out.

thanks,after I posted the q I went to the garage and found my vacuum
tester and discovered that the can that seemed okay in the cold dark driveway wont hold advance at all
oh well I've got a spare 009 and a spare 34pict-looks like I'll see if any of these "fixes" I've read do any good |

Get an SVDA for the 34 - DO a search and see how many found this to work really well - flat spot goes away and teh car just runs better. Had an 009 too, then switched - night and day. _________________ D-Dubya Manx clone - 63 Short pan,1914.
