and found it leaked like a sieve

The reinforced hose that leaves the inlet manifold to the one way valve was amongst the suspects for weak mixture.
Upon checking it by filling the hose with water (after removing it!) and blowing it with my finger on the other end....produced a nice watering can effect.
codged together a temporary replacement and ...Bonus! better brakes and a smoother sounding engine.

I may need a trip to Gasure to recheck the mixture.

and there is of course replacing the hose ....main dealer?

Kev

You should be able to get servo hose from a decent auto factors or here

I don't know what diameter it is but I guess you do as you have the pipe off.

Aaah yes that will do nicely I'll just measure the I/D

As I only need about 10" the rest will be available to any one who needs it

Nice one skell...hose heaven that site

I suggest you leave it leaking.
Might improve your braking ability if you mend it
