Title: Where does this little sucker go?
Post by: Pazmo on January 22, 2013, 12:31:00 AM
Greetings!

Just got my hands on an -85 fj1100. being new to this bike I could use some help. On the left hand side is the IC Ignitor unit, and attached to this unit is a rather long rubber hose. The hose have marks from some kind of fitting in the other end, so i guess it's supposed to be fitted to something. I just can't for the life of me figure out where. Getting really, really frustrated! Surely someone out there can help me with this?

Really? I suppose You mean the little outlets that You attaches the carb syncing tool to? So the vacuum hose for the gas tank goes on number one, the IC-Ignitor goes on number two, and number three and four are sealed off?

Make sure the hose will hold a vacuum before you hook it up.  Sometimes the diaphragm in the ignition box gets blown out that causes a vacuum leak.  That's why it is sometimes disconnected.

It it won't hold a vacuum, then don't bother hooking it back to a manifold port.
