Hmmm... funny you should mention that. Thinking back on this problem and dealing with an admittedly faulty and aging memory. I do recall trying to shore up this problem a few months ago by replacing one of the vacuum hoses with a POS from my local FLAPS who did not have the right stuff.Some flimsy thin walled stuff but it was all he had. The problem improved for a short while and now has become worse. I have ordered some of the good stuff from one our list vendors and when it gets here I will give it a try and report back to the list. Thanks again, David Higginbotham 82 Westfalia Silk Hope, NC
