For those not having a cigar hose and not wanting to spend the money. Even a used one from a pick and pull. If still pliable is probably better than none. It certainly hurts nothing to have it.


This 616 engine was discontinued by the manufacturer in Europe. Then manufactured later and sold in India I think. I often wondered if any type of updating it was employed there?


How many years later it remained in production there is also unknown to me. To the best of my limited knowledge I have never seen a poster on our site that owned one of these. Indian built engines.
