Re-Instal Carburetors

 You need about 3 pairs of hands to get the carbs back on so I experimented with some wood.


 This might just do it.  The trick is to apply an even amount of pressure to both sides at the same time and grease up the boots as well.

 Then I discovered the awful truth.  I have assembled the choke mechanism with the return spring between carbs 2 and 3 and not between 3 and 4.  So pull them all off, change the assembly and put them back on again.  1.5 hours.


 Ready to go.  On no.  Carbs don't line up with the airbox because engine to carbs boots are on upside down.  Rookie mistake.  Another hour!
