Vacuum diagram for 1975 BMW E21 316 (Pre-facelift)

Post by Luggy »

Hello guys,

I was wondering if any of you have a picture or some kind of documentation regarding the original routing of BMW E21 316 vacuum hoses, I suspect that mine are routed wrong because some hoses seem to do nothing, just to suck air from outside past the carburetor, and the carburetor's secondary barrel doesn't open under acceleration, although that might be a different issue. Any information is useful because I can't really find anything online.

Thanks
