TB Question
Hi, I,ve just bought an '03 mille engined tuono. Whilst in the process of taking it apart to see what has/has'nt been done mod wise, I found this ( circled )...
........It's on the right hand side of the TB casting, sucking air in like a good un & looks like it should be connected to something!
At small throttle openings & whilst decelerating the fueling is very poor. Could this be the culprit?, and if it is where/how should it be re-connected. If I blanked it off what would happen?
You'll have to excuse my ignorance but with no manuals to hand and an almost vegetable like approach to all things mechanical, I figured you'd be the guys to ask for help!

The only thing I can say for certain is a couple of weeks ago I removed a rubber sealer cap from that item on my falco to replace it with a vacuum lead for a Scott Oiler I was fitting, so I would say that it should be sealed.

Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

Tolerance will be our undoing.
SORTED!
Ace, thanks chaps....Quick fixed it with blanked off fuel hose & a couple of clips, which will do until the correct cap drops on the mat. Now runs as smooth as, just in time for next weeks baltic blizzard...
