86 Carb fuel vent fitting broken off


Recommended Posts

Well , I've straightened out the vac lines and it doesn't run any worse! Actually, runs pretty good... But the vent line running from the carb to the canister is broken off at the carb. Like, nada. Just the vent hose ending with a small pic of metal tube that is supposed to be attached to the front of the carb...

 

that little vent coming off the carb doesn't look replaceable? Is it's? I can't find a part number/diagram for it

 

Ideas?

 

...yes, JB weld that sucker on has been tossed my way...

 

Thx

The gas fumes just go back to the tank in an attempt to improve mileage and meet 80s U.S. regs. Just jb weld and make it look ugly and barely functional. It isn't a big thing just make it not leak, too much.

The gas fumes are collected by the charcoal canister, as are fumes from the tank, and stored when the engine is shut off. When the engine is started a vacuum signal (usually the vacuum advance) is used to open the purge valve on the canister. The purge is connected to the intake and vacuum draws the stored fumes into the engine to be burned.
