Triming intake boot for spacer

(1/2) > >>

hughes:
Does anybody have a good pictures of their intake boot trimed and installed on the engine with the carb :?:  Left and right side pictures. I am making my own reed block spacer this week and just would like to see what the trimed intake boot will look like and how the carb throat fits into it. Thanks

mikesmith:
Just copy the gasket inside diameter to make a spacer,no need to trim the boot.You can even leave a lot of overhang on the out side if you feel lazy.The boot needs to be cut on the inside to run a V-fource,is that what you were thinking of maybe?

hughes:
I guess there is enough movement in the air box boot to allow the carb to move back 10mm (spacer thicknest)

mikesmith:
Yes,just makes it that much tighter fit though!

hughes:
Hey guy's check out the reed block spacer I made this week. All i need to do know is install and run. A.Hughes 87 KX500 gallery.
