Volks,

I have been slowly restoring an early 1984 Westy.  The previous owner had
disconnected a lot of the fuel injection control stuff and I am trying to put
it back as it should be.  First the vacuum line that controls the fuel
pressure regulator is missing.  What size and kind  of line is it and who
sells it?  The next item that has me baffled.  There is a hose on the air
intake boot [aka Intake air hose/the rubber part between the AFM and the
Throttle valve housing] below the connection for the auxillary air regulator
hose.  This hose goes nowhere.  I found it rolled up and stuck under some of
the engine piping.  I found that if i sucked on it the engine idle speed
would drop.  Does anyone know where this hose goes or what I should do about
it

TIA,
John Houser, Jr.
