: I'm glad you sorted out the problem.

: Years ago I was helping a friend tune
: the Volvo he bought while we were in
: college. He yanked all the plug wires
: off the dizzy before I could stop him.
: He didn't know the firing order or have
: a service manual. We guessed at the
: order and got it wrong. When he
: cranked the engine over to start there
: was a massive backfire through the
: intake. The car's large flexible,
: corrugated rubber intake snorkel blew
: into pieces. He flipped out since his
: parents were coming to town the next
: day and there was not chance of getting
: a replacement part. I wrapped the
: snorkel with Saran and then wrapped
: over the Saran with at least two rolls
: of vinyl electrical tape. To an
: untrained eye it looked factory. The
: repair ended up staying on the car for
: months and was never noticed by his
: parents.
:
: Again, plastic wrap can work wonders.

: I fixed the rotten diaphragm by placing
