Quick Flooding help

Hi,

I know there are alot of threads on flooding, but I just need a quick picture if anyone has one.

I've been useing a syringe and a piece of clear tubing to squirt oil into the leading plug holes....but I seem to remember that there was a hose you can pop off the TB and shoot oil in through there...

Does anyone have a picture that shows that hose, or can describe it to me? Hitting all faced of both rotars is a bit of a bitch when using the plug holes.

I did search, but I was unable to find out anything on this particular tid-bit of info.

Thanks in advance! =)

EDIT: its a '88 GXL =)

you're not trying to "hit the faces of all the rotors", you're just injecting oil into the housing to seal the apex seal-to-rotor housing contact area, which helps builds the compression lost when the excess fuel "washed" the previous layer of lubrication away...just squirt some in & crank it to spread the oil around...I've had to do this every time its flooded to get it going again...
