Hi,

Any tips on replacing the vacuum hose at the inlet end, without removing carbs, waterpump or swearing??!!

Thanks

Done it.
Long nose pliers, even longer nosed pliers.
After silicone spray didn't work, I soaked my new hose in boiling water and it pretty much slipped on!

Or you can get someone with small hands to do it :D

waterpump!?

thats nowhere near the vaccum hose..

Well spotted, but I've a feeling he/she actually means the stat.

I did mean that.
Hose went on easily in the end. WArmed the pipe up with hot water and it slipped on lovely.
It didn't solve the issue though!
Ended up replacing the diaphragms in the fuel tap and now all is good.
