Isn't technology fun?
My 63 Classic has this setup. Pretty much you have to replace all the
hoses; they get stiff and won't stay on. I think I had to put clamps on the
length to/from the bulb. It's been stable for a decade now.
In the Classic, I don't have the vacuum booster pump, so the throttle is
entangled in wiping the windshield. Makes for great fun.
