Air Pipe thingy Help???

[AM4R]

I dont know what it is called but the pipe in the engine, that filters exhaust gases back into the engine has fallen off.

Does anyone know what its called and where I can get one?
Is anyone selling one?

Its the pipe connecting the silver bit in the left corner to the black bit, lol. Very technical eh??

isn't that a vacuum pipe??

[custom_vtr]

it runs fine with it off tbh

it nothing to do with the exhaust gases, think its to direct hot air to the carb for starting up, with it just being single point injection mate

ah right, so is it definetly safe to leave it off?

[boz]

its there for a reason lol should be fine tho.

i think its like the old carb engines. you had a summer setting and a winter setting, in the winter you would turn the big carb cover around so the bit your talking about would blow over the carb to stop it icing over in cold condidtions.
not sure how it works on the saxo but looks like it surves the same purpose. just for the winter, as the cold air coming into/over the carb can freeze it and the fuel, in the winter the air going in is colder so the pipe gives it a bit of heat to stop it icing over :)

your ok without it mate

pritty much as boz says
