Jarnved Posted January 12, 2022 Share #1 Posted January 12, 2022 Hi My 240 comes from CA and now in Denmark. I have this vacuum valve with a hose and no connection for that? I can see that it has a connection to the carbs with some axel downwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siteunseen Posted January 12, 2022 Share #2 Posted January 12, 2022 (edited) It's a fast idle servo for the air conditioner and the hose connects to a part you don't have. I removed mine when I took off the A/C Edited January 12, 2022 by siteunseen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveJ Posted January 12, 2022 Share #4 Posted January 12, 2022 I have to disagree with @siteunseen. The vacuum hose would connect to a part that has been removed. There should be a control valve mounted to where I have the arrow. The control valve and dashpot are described in the EC section of the factory service manual. Here is a picture from page EC-2: The control valve and dashpot prevent the throttle from closing as rapidly when you take your foot off the gas pedal. That reduced the volume of unburned hydrocarbons out the exhaust. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siteunseen Posted January 12, 2022 Share #5 Posted January 12, 2022 Uh oh. I thought it was part of the a/c, sorry. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, I started writing a response and saw your reply. To make sure I wasn't on the wrong path, I dug through the FSM to verify my memory was correct. In conclusion, your post made me research more to give a better answer than I originally intended. In the 72 FSM, the description of the throttle opener starts on EC-10.

siteunseen Posted January 12, 2022 Share #7 Posted January 12, 2022 (edited) Since your curiousity is up and running as it should be, you should find out what is going on with the PCV pipe coming out of the block. It's plugged at the balance tube so it should be plugged there too for now. I would reconnect it to it's original configuration if I were you. Maybe these pictures will help. Your current PCV valve is plugged... This shows where it should go to the block... This hose should go to your air cleaner housing to complete the circuit of Positive Crankcase Ventalation. Simply just to return any unused air to the carbs to be burned instead of released to the atmosphere. Pollution stuff.

siteunseen Posted January 12, 2022 Share #8 Posted January 12, 2022 I'm self quarrentining until my test results come back for the newest Omicron. Haven't been feeling very well and don't want to infect anyone so I sit here at home with my dog and my beer, laptop and nothing more but time. That's why I'm a little chatty today. Thanks for giving me something to do! Hopefully I can help somehow? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
