better of going to a motorist shop about £10 for some ally flexi pipe

Ouch! that is more than a tank of fuel, I repaired the splits in mine with aluminium duct tape over three years ago, it is still working fine

BLOODY HOW MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!
i replaced the lot from the exhaust to the ait filter for less than £15 from bloody sparesworld

I now dont have any have no problems starting if they are supposed to aid cold starting,how when the engine is cold

[bilfox]

It's not meant to aid cold starting.that's the chokes job.What it does is direct warm air to the carb when the engine has warmed up and,I believe,allows you to shove the choke in a bit sooner than usual.Mines been on the winter setting since I got my Bambi four years ago and it's never given me a problem.

Not alot of good to me then 4 miles to work engine heater just gets warm when i arrive

[bilfox]

It actually draws warm air from the exhaust manifold which gets hot soon after starting so doesn't need the whole engine to warm up before it presumably does some good.I can usually shove the choke right in within half a mile on mine but,as I said,I've never had mine on the summer setting so don't really know if it would make any difference.

It will not make starting up or or the warming up any quicker it is to help it run smoother when driving, warm air to the carb is not good for performance but that is not what are vans are built for.
The winter / summer switch gives you warm air in the winter and cooler in the summer. The one on my camper has nearly fallen of now but it still runs nice and smooth because once warmed up it uses the warm air from around the engine. I have a 1970 Vauxhall Viva GT that I do the odd track day in its a 2.3 slant 4 lightend, balanced and flowed with a big valve head the carbs need cold air, when its cold its a bitch to drive but once warmed up it flys. Winter setting will give you warm air in the winter but if you leave on the winter setting in the summer it will give hot air to the carb,the summer setting will give you warm air in the summer. It will run on any setting but if you use it right it will run better.

The winter setting directs warm air into the air filter which is then sucked quickly into the carb & its purpose is to stop the carb fuel mix freezing which will happen in this weather.
Put it back onto summer setting when the weather gets mild otherwise the hot air being sucked into the carb will result in poor performance.
I can supply air duct pipe in 500 m.m. lengths at £7.00 a length.

there you go dell boy to the rescue!!!!!!
i would love to see what else you got hiding away in your shed, pmsl

[bilfox]

Maybe I've got away with leaving mine on the winter setting because of the lousy summers we've had recently.I'll change it this year and see if it makes any difference.
