Hiccup Requires Permanent Fixing

planenut · 10th August 2020, 07:55

Having just completed an eight hundred mile jaunt to visit my aged Aunt in Durham the car drove brilliantly except for one thing. Returning to my camp site one evening, I heard a dull pop, "phht" was how my comics would have worded it. This was accompanied by high surging of the engine revs, and luckily I was able to pull in immediately. I found that the small hose from the purge pump to the throttle housing had come out of said housing. I repositioned it, but I am not happy with the fit which I cannot make permanent, tape does not seem to secure it too well. Apart from glue, has anybody encountered this and solved it successfully?
