Charcoal canister

[Darren2030]

Hi

I’m bit lost as what to do with this pipe fitting from the charcoal canister it used to go to the old original oil bath but now I’ve got twin carbs.
Do I put a t-piece fitting on the carb filter in the picture and run both the crankcase and charcoal canister pipes to that filter or just leave it off or even possibly remove the whole thing!?

Thanks.

After 40 odd years that carbon canister will do absolutely nothing.

What ya suggest then sparkywig remove it? If I do that it leaves an open pipe from the tank breather on the back wall or just leave it as it is?

I didn’t know earlybays had a charcoal canister. What year is your bus, and from which country?
If it has another breather pipe you could just block that one off.

I removed mine, and ran the vent up to the fuel filler area. Its just a breather so now vents to outside the cabin.

Mines a ‘70 but doesn’t have one. Maybe it was a California thing. I didn’t realise earlybays had them at all. I think I would do what Slowmo did and just vent to outside which is where my tanks breather goes to.
