I notice from the owner's manual for my '86 1108cc GTL the air cleaner pre-heating pipe should be adjusted with changes in the ambient temperature. Mine I notice is set to pick up warm air from the exhaust pretty permanently given it looks to have been fixed with tape and something else (unidentifiable!).
My question is, assuming that I will mainly drive in warmer weather, should I reinstate the adjustability of the air intake by using a new piece of tubing? If so, any ideas where I can get hold of the right stuff and from the handbook it looks like there's a loop the tube fits in to for the summer position.
Thanks! I've attached a photo of my pipe.
