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.

The slide cutouts face towards the aircleaners, yes.
I've completely removed the carburetors and the slides are very tight. They don't "slide" at all. Neither one does. I'm working them up and down trying to get them to loosen up. I don't think they're going to.

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.
I used a vernier to measure the depth of the groove and added up to 0.5mm this gave me the 'O' ring cross section, I then measured the inside diameter of the groove and bought 'O' rings to those dimensions, as I tightened the bolts the flange straightened enough to return the carb body back to its correct shape and the slide worked smoothly again. Maybe I was lucky but it is worth a try.
This is a company I have used in the UK there should be similar places in the US.
