randomguy Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 Hi all Iam installing my 2speed cus schools off for another day But installing the 2 speed moves the brake discs out a bit which means they get in the way of the slide carb The manual told me to undo the carb and turn it so that it dosent get i the way 2 Q's Does the carb need sealing, and if so how can i do this and the rubbery springy cover on the slide carb touches the engine, will this melt? Thx BRad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thx BRad Your carb should have an o ring or rings on it, check that they are not damaged if they are ok turn your carb where you want it and while nipping up the pinch bolt push down on to the carbso its well seated into the engine block it then should seal ok, you will know straight away if it dont cos it will have an air leak and rev and stall and wont be driverable. As for your rubber boot you can only try it mate it depends how lean you have the engine leaner = more heat.so its trail and error. hope this helps you marty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziggy122 Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 if its on the engine... and its been there since u brought it... it shouldn't really melt rotating the carb around shouldnt need to it to be sealed tho.... BUT - if u have problems with it sealing.... try moving the retaining pin... So that u tighten up the nut the other side Its stupid in text book language really... but my OS carb is broke and swapping the pin round helped hold it better and made it seal Ziggy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ziggy122 Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 Thanks guys, i'll reply again when ive tested it Dont drive it miles away from you And I advise having sumet like WD40 near u - with the straw thing.... So that u can spray it around carb - listen for a rev flicker to indicate a good seal Ziggy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
