Hi Tom:

On my 72 TR6 the restrictor was at the top entry of the charcoal canister.  It
was a white piece of plastic about 1/2" long with  a hole about 3/16" drilled
in it. The part had a ridge at the top edge to stop it from slipping into the
canister. This was fitted to the large pipe leading to the front side of the
carbs.

Cheers,

Mark

Mark or Jerry:

Could you please clarify exactly where this restrictor should be found, and
what it looks like?
Looking at the Moss catalog, it seems that it  is only used with the
2-outlet cannister (and is N/A).
Is the hose referrred to, the larger dia. one at the fwd side of the carbs,
or the small dia. one one the rear side?

Thanks,
Tom
