Heater Hose Routing
davidpinto:
I BRAZED UP THE WATER PASSAGE ON MY INTAKE AND DID AWAY WITH THE T AND SMALL HOSE.WORKS WELL,MOTOR WARMS UP FASTER AND RUNS COOLER AND LOOKS CLEANER TOO.I ROBBED THE INTAKE OFF A 75 MODEL IN A JUNK YARD,THE OLDER INTAKES HAVE BETTER RUNNERS AND THE FUEL DOES"NT PUDDLE IN THE BOTTOM.

Thanks for the info...Since I have the '80 intake already on the motor and have the stock plumbing, I will just put it back together the way the factory did it until something fails. At that point I would probably do your modification. Is the line to the intake for the choke? My buggy will only be run in the Summer anyway so as long as it starts and idles, the warm up period isn't too much of a concern at this point. We'll see what the drivability is like next year when I get it running.

LATER MODELS HAVE AN ELECTRIC CHOKE ON THE CARB,WITH A WIRE RUNNING FROM THE ALTERNATER TO THE CHOKE THERMOSTAT THAT HEATS UP THE COIL.KIND OF A PAIN,I HAVE TO ADJUST IT OFTEN DEPENDING ON THE SEASON SO THE ADJUSTER SCREW LANDS ON THE RIGHT STEP WHEN YOU PUMP THE GAS.
