First person to answer this gets a Wispa.

Basically what is the black hose attached to the carb. It's the black hose on the left of the blue
Vac pipe. It leads into the near side wheel arch.
Basically it melted today after falling onto the turbo

If its not attached to anything it's the carb drain hose mate . Someone will confirm but I'm sure that's what it is .

:agree: keep it well from hot bits, run it over the rocker then down behind the rad somewhere

Ah right I take it I could replace this with some vac hose and run it down replacing the knackered stuff

As long as it can take fuel, silicone vac hoses will just melt. I've used a stainless steel braided fuel hose on mine, but that's mainly because I like the bling :D any old rubber fuel hose will do. 5mm I/d I think.

Cheers guys I take it I can put the pipe anywhere as long as it does go near somewhere hot
