Inlet Manifold studs - modify?

<< < (4/5) > >>

Bryanj:
So does the cbx rocker cover but you still need the evostick

Oddjob:
Yeah but on that there was loads of stuff that caught the gasket as you were trying to refit the box, plus it was bloody tight getting it back in place, not a great deal at the back of a 500/550 head to do that especially if there are no studs anymore. There's only the top bolt for the tensioner that can catch it I reckon.

Orcade-Ian:
.........and you really HAVE to tilt that bleedin' great lump forwards to get the carbs out, good job there's no frame tubes in the way.
K2-K6 - I experimented with a 'back pressure' system for setting the slides equal - I didn't persevere as it was no better (or worse) than the small drill method prior to Vac sync.

Bryan, I used a couple of dabs of blue Hylomar to keep the o rings in the elbows on my GL1000 - I think you supplied one of those to replace my cracked one?

For Delta rider,
I've done 350/4 float bowls like that but these carbs needed a full seeing to in the first instance - I knew they were 627's (CB500) so had to see what jetting was there - as it turned out they were 38/98, so OK for 550F1.

Moorey:

  If you don't want to go to the bother of soldering and plating I would have thought a drop of Loctite 270 would do what your initial requirement
  was.
