The carbs were in
place and the air box was ready. Now I just needed to push the carbs
into the engine boots and get the air box boots on the carbs. Well the
engine boots were pretty hard and the weather was cold. So even warming
them up in the house had little effect. This was a tough job. Firstly I propped them up with some timber and strung them up with some cable ties. The idea being to align them to the engine boots so they could be pressed home.
After several attempts at just pushing them in, I could see the engine boots beginning to move out of alignment. So they had to be adjusted back into true.
In order to get sufficient leverage, I resorted to my old trick of more timber.
And a bit of banging.
Eventually, after quite a few scrapped knuckles and a rain storm, I got them in.
Sitting pretty at last.
Now what are the chances that it will fire up?
