Hole in air intake.

[stevo]

Noticed a bit hole/rip on the pipe that comes from the air filter into the carb. Would this make a big difference to performance and ,for a van that does alot of miles, will it need replacing?

I would replace it, but you can always put some duct tape round it till you get the time to get another one

[stevo]

Yeah, ive put some self almagamating tape round it. Ill see how it holds up.

Yup, rolling repair is the way to go. Good ole duct tape!

It comes out of where the air filter in, quite a thick pipe, i think it goes into the carberetor.
