bottom of carb hittting clutch lever

[procharged540]

hey guys I got a set of 36 mm Mikuni tmx carbs and the left side is hitting the clutch lever! has any body else had this problem I held them up to the cylinder with the reeds in it and I had to space it out 5/8" to get it to clear can i just make a 5/8 spacer or what any ideas ?????????

I have stock carbs, so I do not have this prob, but you arent alone, alot of guys with better carbs have this problem,what type of intake are you running, supposibly the boss racing intake is supposed to lift the carbs alittle, and also reed spacers help with this problems aswell..

Well i had the same problem, just bend the lever down a little bit so it clears, but myne were 34mm's maybe yours are a little lower?

When I used 35pwks I had to bend down the arms also.

I thought about bending the lever down but i didnt know if the pressure from cable would make it bend back . i bought 36mm stock looking intakes (rubber) that was stipid I know now!!! maybe i can make a 7/16 spacer and bend the lever down I work in a machine shop so makeing them is not a problem what do you think ????

you can either run spacers to move them back or sell your intake and buy a Boss, Mod Quad,or White Knuckle Racing Billet intake. They are all pretty much the same thing and will move the carbs up and away from the level while also getting rid of the crossover tube.

Yep Boss Racing Intake. Moves the carbs up and back. Way better option than reed spacers.

These are very nice and seem to add a touch more hp compared to some of the others.

You can try to bend arm down, grind a touch off of the bottom carb nut, but reed spacers or different intakes that move the carbs up will work better.

these intakes are great, spend the little extra cash. I have them on my 33pwk's and now 39 pwks , they clean the motor up, and no more boost bottle.
