I think that's called a dashpot. my motor didn't come with one and it ran, now it's in pieces, but it ran without that thing.

basically, its supposed to keep the throttle open between shifting, it keeps the throttle plate from slamming shut.


you dont need it.

i dont get how that is it......im not saying your wrong, im just wondering why it would have a line going to the intake pipe....and when the throttle cable plate pushes on it, it puffs out air?

on transition from no vac to full vac, the valve will hold open for a small amount of time, keeping the throttle slightly open.

unnecessary.
