Yet more Q's with pictures.

Post by BeeBabs » 11th January 2011 - 9:31am

Sorry I know I ask loads, but if anyone has time please could you answer :)

What are these and what, if anything, do they do/are responsible for.

I'm guessing this is some sort of air intake for the eber?

Would this be the fuel pump for the eber?

And how can I cure these leaks?

Thankyou for your time :oops: :)

Pic 1 is the bottom of oil filler-cum-dipstick neck where it bolts onto the sump.
Pics 4 and 4a are, as you guessed, the air intake for the Ebber combustion chamber.

How to cure oil leaks? That's the $64,000 question!!! Simple answer is to remove the fitting, clean hte threads, and re-fit with a new gasket or copper washer as appropriate.

Good luck!
