Can someone post a pic of these carbs installed, showing the cable linkage attachments? I thought I took pics before taking apart but apparently I didn't push "save."  Not too many ways they can go but if there is a wrong way I can find it. I know where each cable goes its just where the adjusting/lock nut ends up that I want to make certain of
 

eBay photos come in useful sometimes...
 

I need it with the cables attached, but I found what I need in the video I posted at the top of this thread so I'm good now.

That's the video where I found it.   I just need to decide which carbs to put in now...

Stick them in a bucket of boiling water for 20 mins then work quickly


 

That worked like a charm on 3 out of 4 (I am using the spare set of carbs a member sent), but I think #4 is beyond help. I'm going to need to decide on pods vs airbox mods to take different ducts and I still lean toward the latter. One thing I've noticed is that my airbox holes and ducts are all of equal diameter, but at least some other candidates for use have smaller diameter openings on 2 and 3. Would this affect jetting? 

In other news my new Mikuni pilot jet arrived and I noticed it has straight round holes instead of holes with oval-ish exterior bevels like the old ones do. Both have Mikuni stamps though and appear legit. Should I assume the oval-ish bevels were an unnecessary refinement, or should I assume something else?  I'd kinda like all my jets to be the same for peace of mind but don't really care to throw money away
