Headlamp vacuum leak
Well I ahve just sucessfully completed my head, cam, intake and carb change and have the engine running pretty good with a nice idle.
The only problem is that now only one headlight comes up (the passenger side one) and the other doesn't come up.
Where is a good place to start to find it, is there anything obvious that anyone can tell me?

Just a wee tip while you are looking at your vacum hoses, if any of them are a bit loose put some rubber solution on the metal nozzle and slide the hose over. It should eliminate any minor vacum leaks and it doesnt have too much grip that you cant take them off again if you need to.
