Slicing up my hands trying....I need some help

If your boots are flexible do this.



If they are not flexible get new ones.

If it's the engine to carb hoses. Make sure you have the correct ones and the clamps are fully opened. GLuck

and people say tuning for pods and pipe is a beeyatch....give me a pipe and pods anyday....:laugh:

Success without college!! Glad it worked out for you.

What really impresses me is how much effort some guys on here go to to illustrate various methods and wrenching techniques for others here. Good stuff. You guys are great!

Couldnt have said it better myself terry.

Perhaps the oil isn't responsible.
If not already done, would consider clutch pushrod adjustment.

Good Luck!

What works well for me is soap. I take one of those spray bottles and fill it with a soapy mixture. Then when I spray it it comes out as a good soapy coating mist. Then I take the carb boots out of the air box and soak them in hot soapy water. Once warmed up they becomne real plyable and easier to work with and fold back. As I am struggling, I spray soapy water onto the boots and into the holders. I found that soapy water works better than spray lube and is cleaner too in the end.
