I am wondering about the charcoal canister on my recently purchased 87 GL wagon. Carbuerated engine. First off I want to make sure it's the charcoal canister. It's located on the passenger side of the engine down from the spare tire, about the diameter of a can of soup, but not as tall, clipped in sideways, with a 1/2" ID rubber hose coming out and going into the air intake.
Mine has what appears to be a large hole melted in it, looks to be done with a screwdriver or some other heated metal object.
Any guess as to why the previous owner would do such a thing? Where can I get a new one? Parts for this thing seem to be hard to find.
Thanks for answers to my previous post. I replaced the thermostat today, hopefully that will fix the temperature creeping and then dropping issue.
