I have run into a big snag on trying to install the carbs. I had installed them tickety boo( I thought) until I read a thread on the GS Resources recentley which mentions the the boots need to be installed so the bend is in the vertical plane which allows the carbs to sit level in the horizontal. Looking at the Kat pictures around, they all sure look that way.
Now I didn't take the rubber boots off ( they came in a box) so I don't even know if these are the correct ones but I have not reason to believe that they aren't. Having said that, I tried every combination of setup and there is no way I can get them to line up to accept the carbs other than the way I had them. As the intake tubes out of the head angle in to the centerline I turned the bends on the boots to the other direction forming a kind of s shape. The "mouths" then all line up, are properly spaced and accept the carbs. Problem then is the carbs sit in line with the forward lean of the head.
So I'm wondering if anyone has any thoughts. Am I missing anything?
I've been puzzling this one for a couple of hours now and can't see how these things can go on any other way than I had them but that sure doesn't look right.
I appreciate any thoughts.
Cheers all,
