H,i I have just bought a new manifold for my twin port 1300, so my question is what do I do with the little pipe on the manifold, do I have to connect something to it or blank it off,
Thanks

Unless you're using a standard air filter just blank it off.

As David says the one on the manifold down pipe needs blanking off as it is not used on the pancake filters.

Your pancake probably got eaten last Tuesday...a crepe or a waffle would do the same job... ;D ;D ;D

Nice timing there  ;D ;D ;D ;D
It depends on the body clearance above the carb you can get cheap pancakes actually there is a new unused one in the shed I paid £12 from machine 7 for but you can also use a cone filter which will be better and can be fitted with or without an elbow.
