Re: vacuum looking thingy

The shroud is probably only available from the dealer (still in cheap'o
plastic that will break in two years). But you can get the hose
elsewhere and save maybe $20 or so.

   Go to Pep Boys... buy the generic hose for under $3.00. I think they
call the hose a "preheater hose" and they have a pic/drawing of an
classic americanized carb'ed motor on the front of the cardboard box.
The generic fits reasonably well. 
   
   I think I may still have the cardboard box.... let me know if you
need the part # before the trash goes out at the end of the day on
Wednesday.
