Because one of my problems is that I like instant gratification, the idea of getting a rebuilt carb on e bay sounded like torture today. I found a carb place open on saturday and got for 160 dlls a rebuilt Holley 2bbl.
I replaced the carb, attached the throtttle linkage and the gas line (more about that in the next post) but then I ended up with an extra hose. In my old carburator there was a hose going from the starboard side of the carburator to the distributor, the hose is about 3 mm in inner diameter. The guy that sold me the rebuilt carb told me that the hose was a vacum hose and that marine carbs do not use vacum. The engine appears to run well without the hose attached to anything but it still makes me nervous to have a hose just hanging in the breeze. Please take a look.
What should I do with that hose?
