Carbs Won's Seat Fully

[Fire-medic]

I use KY jelly for the boots . It helps ease the insertion and you can use it to hold gaskets in-position during assembly too.

The same way I 'seated' my airbox, just place a sized piece of plywood on-top of the carb tops, and a 2x6 open-box and then another piece of plywood, and then sit on the stack as I described for the airbox. You're just raising the height of the carbs top w/ the plywood/2x6 'sandwich' to make it easier to sit on.

I use a very light film of grease to help with installation. The grease is also good for the rubber boots...

Getting them on is easier then getting them off (for me at least)...

A carb boot rim job with white grease or WD seems to work wonders. unk:

KY jelly for insertion and a rim job? This thread has gone way off the mark!
