It's difficult to visualise without having a similar vehicle myself. The manual does not show an overall layout for the pipes you refer to. It only covers particular jobs and shows localised diagrams eg. carb or distributor. Couldn't you find one on a forecourt and pretend to be interested in buying? Then take a look at the engine layout. Alternatively contact one of the Model F owners in the members list on this site and see if they can help. Sorry I can't help any further.
Good luck

I have e-mailed both the pictorial diagram as well as the schematics which I hope will be of use to you. - (#118) Mark, 9 May 01


where does the pipe go (thin black rubber tube)
off the air filter.the one that goes to the valve on top of the box ..its came off ..i can not see where it goes...it must be off carb somewhere

Rough guess would be a thermal valve on the head or manifold

this may be correct but had a good look around ..but cannot see where its came off...must be somewhere where when the engine warms up it opens up the valve on the air intake (filter)to allow full air to get too the carb....by the way its 2.0ltr spacecruiser
