I hit on that right after I wrote the entry, Ed. I think the O rings under the flanges may be too big, too. I'm heading out to a picnic, when I get back I'll look at all that and report back! Thank you!!!! As always!LOUD MOUSE wrote:Loosen the mounting nuts. ............lm

The slide cutouts should face rearward (towards the air filters). Regards, Chasesarals wrote:Spent the morning installing the handlebar and the carb slides. Trouble! The carb slides won't drop into the carb bodies. Yes, the cutout is forward, which means the slides are going back into the carb bodies that they came out of, and the pin is engaging the slot on the side of the slide.. I don't think the throttle cable is routed properly, but that's not the problem. It's like the bores in the carburetors have gone out of round - the slides engage the keys in the bodies, move down to just about the venturi opening, and that's it. They're tight all the way from the top, not free sliding at all. I can shove them down, but they won't return on their own - either independently or both connected to the throttle cable. Those things should just drop in there, but they won't.

I had this problem when I got my CL175 the previous owner used too big an 'O' ring.sarals wrote: I think the O rings under the flanges may be too big, too.
