I tell ya men,

	I have this 914 sitting here. I paid cash. It came in one box, BUT

it came without the means to drain the carburettor boxes hanging below. I've

tried to find out what fuelworthy line fits the drain nipple below each box

- since it appears it may tinkle itty bits of fuel down onto the exhaust,

creating an unwanted source of energy.

	I have two techinicians and a manufacturer's secretary reading

emails in an attempt to find out:

(a) why it isn't in the parts box, or

(b) where I can find the proper thing once they find out what it

is...........

	During my wonderment interval, if you have a suggestion which

doesn't involve impossible manoeuvres of my body, I would be pleased to read

it.........

Cheers, Ferg

Not sure to clearly see, but would you happen to be talking of the drain 

nipples at the bottom of each carb drip pan ?

Our engine was the previous model with the drip pan attached to the carb 

flange (not to the airbox).

We attached a small fuel hose to the nipple and routed it away from the 

exhaust, to the right of the engine, along with the airbox drains and 

oil breather.

External hoses, lines, wires, etc. are not part of the engine delivery

If we are talking of the fuel drain lines, any reasonably heat-resistant 

fuel hose will do. Route it away from the exhaust and turbo. Some 

shielding may be necessary.



Best regards,

I've had no problems with the air boxes and have no lines on the air box

nipples or the drain pan nipples.  This is in a Zenith with plenty of

airflow under the cowl.
