Blocking vacuum (Read 185 times)

Posts: 45 Finland	Blocking vacuum 01/17/13 at 12:29:48 I have several ideas how to blog vacuum line after Raptor installation: - Vacuum cap (easy but will rubber leak) - Fill hole by solvering it full of tin. (definately solid, but hard to remove if needed someday) - silicone or plastic cement. I am balancing between cap and tin.... What do you think ?

When fitting to the carby put a couple of turns of soft tie wire around the hose and twisted off to secure

The tube was the OEM vacuum line.

I have 4 ports like that on the throttle body for my car. The rubber caps deteriorate within a year. They do make silicone caps. Even then I will goob in the inside with black RTV and then smash it on.
On my car, which is boosted, I will put a zip tie on it afterwards. On the bike I did not as there is no positive pressure in there.
