Hi guys,
I am fitting an HIF44 to my daughters' 1275GT. I worked out what the various connected to the various pipe connections but I've now forgotten. I can see the main fuel fitting and the vacuum advance tail. There are another two above the fuel line, one closer to the engine than the other. I'm picking they are part of a ventilation system, anyone know what to do with them?

Regards
Al

Hi Al,
How are you?
Hope helpful this link.You must not close the cap of #5.
It causes the overflow.

Thanks Kariya,
That is very helpful. Judging by the comment (pasted below), the vent pipe (5) is connected to the hose-tail on the inlet manifold, is that correct?

Best regards form New Zealand

Crankcase ventilation - Is that a performance thing, how does it work, is it to improve emmissions? I have breathers on the crankcase that just vent into the engine compartment.

Overflow thing - how would that plumb in, where does it go to?

Thank you!

pipe up on the manifold..

Al,

NO.
Float chamber upper volume (equal #5vent pipe) should be always atmosphere pressure. it goes to a canister.

Have a nice day! in New Zealand

These shots may be of use, they show the 44HiF in my 1993 Mini Sprite

Thanks for your excellent help everyone, I think I can proceed from here.
