This rubber intake manifold sleeve features a stepped outer diameter and a molded locating tab that ensures precise angular orientation during installation, seating securely between the carburetor flange and intake manifold on the Tricab's fuel-air delivery path. It functions as an air-tight transitional coupling that maintains correct vacuum sealing across the intake tract, and any hardening, cracking, or distortion of its sealing lip over time can introduce unmetered air into the system, causing lean-running conditions, hesitation, or unstable idle. Supplied in authentic Bajaj green-box packaging with a hologram genuinity verification strip to confirm authenticity.
