Question about flap openers.

Not getting a vacuum from anywhere is very strange. I can't understand that at all. Maybe the small pipe on the back of the plenum is blocked.

I'm using renal tubing as I got it free... It's clear and a little more flexible than the original pipe but fits (sometimes with a little sweating!!!)

PM me and I'm happy to send you some if you like. I have replaced all bar the vac pipe which runs into the body of the car (RRC) with less than a complete pack!! It seems to atand up to the job so it's worth a go!

I think I'm sorted now.
I swapped the hoses on the vac sphere which a previous owner had relocated, and added a 1 way valve between the T piece and the vac switch so it holds vac until the switch releases it, and I was able to get it setup on gas to idle sweetly once warm.

Swapping the hoses over has helped the petrol idle too.

A very productive morning for me.

Excellent.

Typically, things don't go right. I let the smoke out from the coil I think, all the magic has gone, and now I'm returned to using the train.

It will weakly start, but wont rev at all, and that was after a bang and a cloud of white smoke.
