Variously know as the "air temperature control unit" (Bentley P.187,
17.30.00) or the "Hot Air Intake" (Victoria B part# VB-2-188), this
"thing" (BY unipart# 12H4846) varies the hot air intake using a
bi-metallic strip to open and close a "flap" on the auto choke '75-on
Spits.
The Bentley Workshop Manual describes it as a "sponge rubber valve".
Okay - *now* I know where the funny "rattle" is coming from... The sponge
rubber valve on my '78 has no *sponge*.
Has anyone done any replacement of this part? Any ideas? Clearly the
sponge part is supposed to effect a better seal. I'm not sure that "that"
makes much difference - don't know.....
But, I'd love to quiet the tinny rat-a-tat-tat it makes!
Tks any ideas or suggestions.
