Greetings all.
The original Carbies have a little bulb and metal capillary tube which went to the distributor vacuum advance thingo. As it was bent all over the place, I can't work out it's proper "Path". It has a saddle clip which (by size) must sit under the water tap nut. Can anyone post a side on picture of how this is positioned please?

Also, can these be bought new anywhere?
I like the original look.
Cheers
Alex

Hi Alex
If it's the one I'm thinking of, it goes from the carby to the distributore and the saddle clip is bolted onto the thermostat cover.
I don't have a photo of the position of the pipe but here's a link to where you can buy one.

I agree with waldo, that's where my 850 had it.

Thanks Dave & Doc.

The links the one I need. This one is too bent to recover. I can go plastic, but the metal does look better.

Cheers
Alex.
