What’s the routing for the anti run on valve?

Vacuum hose routing for the anti run-on valve is shown too. This photo is larger than it needs to be so you can move it around and get a close look at some of the hose routings. I always make fairly wide curves in my hose routings to be sure they never kink in the curve.

Where does the white hose go in a MG?

The white hose goes from the anti run-on valve to a port on the intake manifold. Since the anti run-on valve is closed and no vacuum is drawn through this line while the ignition switch is turned on it makes no difference where on the manifold the line is connected as long as it is below the carburetor.

Where is the purge hose on a Weber?

It takes very little vacuum to make the purge system work and there is plenty inside the air filter. The little yellow hose that is nearly hidden by the red one is the fuel tank vent line and it attaches to the other small hose barb on top of the carbon canister.

How to check the length of the vacuum line?

Allow your car to idle for a couple of minutes. Your gauge should read between 14 and 18 inches of vacuum. If the reading is low or non-existent, there’s a blockage or leak in the vacuum line. Visually check the entire length of the hose for the problem. My truck has a rough idle but when I remove the vacuum line it smooths out. Why is this?

Where do the vacuum hoses go in a truck?

When you open the hood it should show a diagram with the vacuum hoses and the various places they go to. On mine it’s the charcoal bed to the canister purge valve then to the throttle body. It wouldn’t be the IAC so no worries there. It mainly depends on what truck it is.
