G'day, i try'd to put the carbie on my inlet manifold today but the faces wouldnt match up, the spring loaded lever on the side of the carbie is hitting the inlet before the faces get any where near eachother. I dont know if the lever thats hitting is supposed to be attach to something else that will pull it out of the way............. but it doesnt look write.

Thanks. Chris

i think you might be better putting the carbie on the barbie anf having another tinnie .lol.

the only things on the side of the carb are throttle and choke , both which would be spring loaded and have a cables running off them ..pulling them out of the way , thats all i can see it could be ... never noticed anything esle before

Everyone knows that instructions only have to be read if the thing doesn't work....

Me thinks iain is spot on-there should be a spacer between inlet and carb.

id make one as most tend to go hard and crack anyway. its only a case of copying the carb or manifold flange.
