Hi folks
Could some kind bis owner please post pictures of their cars fast idle solenoid as mine is missing one of the vacuum pipes and I don't know where its supposed to go. (theres two)

Yes thanks.
The vacuum hose connector bit that sticks out on pic 3 above the spark plugs  on mine is broken off!!!!
Will try to source a replacement bit with out having to buy a whole new carb.
Thanks again
