Vacuum hoses problem L81.

[Peer81]

Today i continued with putting new vacuum hoses on my L81. All wend pretty well. So now and then a new hose wouldn't fit because they were to small in diameter. With some changes here and there it would fit quiet well.

But i still have a (easy) question for those how have there original L81 hoses in the wright place. I have two diagrams, one from the new hoses kit and one from the workshop manual (little blurry sorry for that).

On both i can see a hose coming from the underside of the air filter element going to the from of the carburetor. (on the first diagram named D)
I've searched the entire front of the carburetor but i could not find the line to hove the hose on. Does anybody have a photo of this area with the line on it?

Second, i have a problem with the hoses going to the PCV valve, to the carburetor and to the EFE, TVS sensor. On both diagrams the same connections are drawn different. Does anybody have a photo from the hoses from the EFE TVS sensor to the PCV valve so i can see what the problem is. As far as i can see now i need to connect a Small t exit from the EFE TVS to a big exit from the PCV valve and this does not fit.

This is no joke but in two years I've taken around 2000 photo's of the entire car previous to and while the restoration is on its way. And now i see i still don't have everything on camera

Thanks for your help.

Groeten Peter.

Hello Bill

I hope you can solve my question again
It the total is under 6mb you could also mail them to Peter.verbogt@*nospam*home.nl (leave the *nospam* out )

I've taken some pictures prior to taking the hoses off but they are just to dark to know what you want to see.

Groeten Peter.

Thank you for the photo's Bill! These two really helped me on the way!

The first mystery has been resolved. With the new hoses there is one T connector short to connect from the PCV back to the EVAP tank. I have the old one around somewhere so that should turn out oke.

The only questions i have now, i have drawn them into your photo's. I hope you or somebody can take some good picture's of what i'm searching for

If you or somebody could tell me where the hose leads to that is connected to the lower connection on the TVS, EFE sensor? (pointing an arrow to in red)
And where does the hose lead to that should be connected to the upper connection on the carburetor? (also with a pointer in red).
As far as i know the hose with the blue pointer should be connected to the other blue pointer on the carburetor.

Second picture the same question as in picture one. If there was a hose on the carburetor connection where should it lead to? (red pointer)
And the final one. There is a thick vacuum hose coming from the PCV valve connecting with a thick hose to the carburetor under the fuel filter with a T connection but then? Where does the T connection (hose) lead to?

Thanks for the help so far

Problem has been solved.
My vehicle emission control information sticker (new) came in today and on the new sticker the layout for all hoses is clearly shown. So i'll finish the hoses this weekend and next weekend the first startup from my reborn L81 will be a fact

To point out the two errors on the Doc Rebuild picture:

First:
The orange hose from the EGR doesn't connect to the big round EGR solenoid but to the tube next to the little round EGR solenoid. So the (sort of) pink hose from the back of the carburetor doesn't connect to the tube but to the big round EGR solenoid.
Second:
The yellow hose from the airfilterunit doesn't connect to the lower middle connection on the carburetor (is also to big) but higher to a small T connection almost on top of the carburetor (front). So the little black hose named P isn't really on the higher connection and isn't small. It is a big hose connected to the bigger connection under the fuel filter at the front of the carburetor. So the little t connection is the wrong one but there wright one is also in the package. For a true OEM replacement air hose kit this kit is missing the wright hose diameter from time to time, wrong connections (size and form) so consider if this kit is worth the money..
