Moderator drewpy Posted March 28, 2017 Moderator Share Posted March 28, 2017 just don't forget to switch them off use the bungs to plug the vacuum barbs where the lines fit over, they are the same used to plug the other vacuum barbs (what you use to balance the carbs) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
