Hi
Gave the car a run at Snetterton on Monday and it went a treat, when starting it from hot i had a big backfire through the air box, on closer inspection its scorched the carbon fibre, looks like it came from the small black hose that comes from the carbs into the bottom of the airbox, what does this hose do and what might have caused it ?

mine backfired through the air cleaner once. no great problem... given that it was once in 2.5 years.
likley it was a miss fire caused by an errant spark. the engine ignition operates on a wasted (or lost) spark principal.
so that each coil fires twice and only one of those times in it in the right place. the other time is on the exhaust stroke..... go figure!
it could have been a kick back when trying to get over TDC when hot and it ran the wrong way for 1/2 a rev.
just my 2p
