carlo Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Hi I had the same prob, I took off the carb, leaving the Y carb boot on the bike, but when it came to putting the carb, back on, it was impossible so I took the carb Y boot off the bike and put it on the carb, (make sure you tighten the retaining clip before re-attaching it, you won't be able to get to itwhen it's on the bike) then put the carb, back on the bike and reattach the Y boot on the cylinders, a bit of a fiddle but managed it. (don't forget to reattach the choke and throttle cables before attaching the carb,) If you do it this way push the carb up into the air intake boot then wiggle into place, and put the bolts back in, be very careful not to break or dislodge the 2 rubber O rings that are set into the Y boot metal face's that attache to the cylinders, if you have some high temp, gasket sealer you may want to put some on the face of the metal parts of the Y boot which attache to the cylinders. Let us know if it worked for you,. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
