I Recently found a rather large hole in the bottom of mine.  I went to
the local FLAPS and got the largest piece of heater hose they had.  It
was a very tight fit so I had to soak it in hot water to soften it up a
bit.  I told my mechanic afterwards and he said he would have done the
same thing.

Subject: '91 Westy-Rubber Hose

I've looked in the Bentley, seen drawings + pictures of the rubber
tubing
going from what appears to be the engine "breather" (vertical, plastic
tube
with cap, about 4-5 inches high) to the throttle body. I is located just
above the middle of the engine, just under the idle speed control valve.
In
the Haynes, there is adrawing of it on page 4B-5, illustration titled:
"5.3", which illustrates Accelerator cable adjustment, and the numbers 2
and
3 are hovering over this rubber hose.
Anyway, mine has burst and has a long split in it and I have duct-taped
it
temporarily. Without the tape the split allows oil to mist the engine
compartment in that area.
Any names for this hose so I can order it would be appreciated....if you
can
figure out what I'm talking about above.
Thanks in advance for any helps....
