 |
|
Hi Folks,
I noticed the 2 inch diameter hose connecting the carbs to the cold air
plenum are showing signs of crazing.
I found some standard plumbing hose the correct diameter and length but
I'm not sure whether the carbs get hot enough that I really need to use
some kind of heavier weight rubber tube.
Where can I find some suitable hose? Any ideas the spec of the Europa
supplied hose?
Yes, I could get it from the factory but am sure that the poor dollar
exchange rate and shipping costs will be a lot more than the actual
rubber hose.
Any suggestions?
Regards,
Martin Tuck

Martin,
Try Bud Yerly at Creative Flight. He is the North American
Europa Dealer/Support guy. He stocks quite a bit of Europa supplies
at the old FlightCrafters site in Seffner, FL.
Since quite a bit of Europa hardware comes from the US to start with,
only to get shipped back with fees, Bud may have local sources
for factory spec supplies.

Can i make a suggestion and say throw the rubber hose and go for two in
brake duct hose instead.
Its very light very flexible and designed for brake temps of what 300+
degrees. I ran it on off road race buggys
for years with no problems at all. You should be able to get it at most auto
shops.
