    Just below the reed vavlve i thought there was usually a nipple and a breather pipe that goes down the a petrol pump or something, i looked at my typhoon the other day and the pipe or nipple isnt there should there be one there, i can see the hole?

    there is usually a nipple there that you can either attach a pipe for the vacume tap or a oil pipe, if you dont need it just blank it off

    Thats what i thought there is usually one there, do you reckon i should just block it off? What would you suggest doing it with, becaue the nipple isnt even there? and cheers for the reply

    Not all of them have a nipple there, just a little metal insert to blank it off. You can hit the insert out from the inside and get a nipple to go on there if you like.
