Rocker cover breather pipe not connected to anything.

As you can see it isn't connected to anything. Should it be connected to the carb or the air cleaner? :o . Probably a stupid question :oops:

Edit: I assume as this exists that it should be connected to the carb. http://morrisminorspares.co.uk/shop/pro ... ecc9a6a78e

Thanks!

Should be connected to either the carb or air filter, the idea is to suck the oil fumes back into the engine and burn them off.

If the carb connection is there (small copper connection) - use it! Otherwise - the air cleaner although it is a 'second best' option.
