I was dismantling my 1500 ('76) engine and trying get the starter/ fuel pump off. In front of the fuel pump there is a hose attached to the block. It is about 6 inches long and has brass nuts at each end. The other end is hooked up to a T fitting attached to the inner fender. What is it? I can't find it in the catalogues or books. Thanks

how about a picture of this.

Hello JP,
I would say that the Tee piece feeds the two carburettors, a hose to each float chamber.

But Alec, here in the Colonies we only got the single ZS version of the 1500. Drat!!!!
It sounds suspiciously like a homemade crankcase breather, but without pictures, it's only a guess.

I finally found it in the Haynes manual, (which arrived Friday!) it's the oil pressure sensing unit. Still haven't found it in Victoria British but I'm looking. Thanks for your input.
