What's the diaphragm like thing attached to the front of the float bowl on the 2150? Its between the throttle pump and fuel filter. It has a nipple on it for a vacuum hose which has never been there since I've owned this truck. I did cap it off with a rubber end cap which became brittle and just broke off after about 9 months and it smelled like gas pretty bad, so what ever this thing is, I believe it's leaking. Any ideas? Also where would I hook up a vacuum hose for this thing if I can find a replacement?
I just did the Duraspark conversion and have plans to upgrade to a holley carb in the future, but between bills and the price of gas, cash flow isn't so great right now, so it will have to wait. But Id like to see if I can get this carb to work well enough that the engine doesn't stall whenever I hit the gas while its cold. It probably wouldn't even be an issue if I had a manual transmission.
Thanks in advance.
