Hi all - just wondering what the opinions are on plumbing in the carb heating pipes, Is it worth bothering with - what has everybody else done?

Cheers

Paul

ps also those 2 90 degree breather pipes with mesh in them that are supposed to go to the airbox (i dont have an airbox) - can these be left as they are or do they need some sort of air filter on the end?

I was told to just leave the vents to the atmosphere.... Dont fancy that tho.....

My carbs froze in April!

but that was with the old bonnet where the carbs stuck right out of the top (let alone the filter....)!

It'll be reet.....
