2001 Summit 700 Pressure Manifold vacum hose question

[sledparty]

My wife’s 01 700 summit needed new intake boots the old ones had cracked apart and were no good anymore. Luckily I caught this before any damage to the engine could be done during my pre-season maintenance.

Well it took two failed attempts on eBay before I just went and bought new boots. The sled was torn down for over a month while my previous eBay flops were handled (returned and blah blah..)

Today I got the new boots and put them in, I then started putting everything back together. I ran into two small snags.

First, there is a small plate that mounts between the two intake boots. It has a little metal hanger on it. I saw no function for the hanger except to droop the fuel line over which if I recall this is how it came apart.

Secondly, there is a vacuum nipple on the bottom front of the pressure manifold and for the life of me I can't find the line that goes to it. I looked around and found a picture on eBay and this one appears to not have a line on it either. Is there a line that goes to this? I looked all through the sled and everything looks like it's hooked up as it should, no extra lines anywhere to be seen.

I will have to look at lunch time to make sure but I don't beleive anything hooks to that one. I have a 02 and will look at lunch today.

It's not connected to anything on my 99 600 or my 01 800. It may be different for a 700, but i doubt it.

Just looked at lunch and there's no hose on mine, although it is a 2002 but not any difference in motors that I know of.

that hole should be silled if I remember right. Just have 2 hoses for each carb and 1 for the air box. Your good to go

put the plate back on

that plate with the hook on it actually helps take the weight of the carbs off the boots. Mine has a simple rubber strip on it and it hangs the carbs.
If you go to dirtcheapsnow. com you can pull up a parts blow up

Hey thanks for he replies! I saw the strap (or what's left of it.) It was broken in half.. I'll look online and see what a replacement runs.

Appreciate it!

Ya that's to atmosphere -nothing on it and not plugged. check my 700 mod sled build to see how the hoses are connected - on youtube www.youtube.com/lshobie
