Hi all...
9A with superior XP 0-320. Getting ready to do up the airbox, and have discovered that there is a great deal of left hand offset with the carb in relationship to the cowl. About 2 inches. Centering it all up will not clear the cowl, and I barely have enough room below the airbox, so it looks like I won't be able to fit the filter bypass, if it clears at all. Looks like I will have to offset the upper filter plate on the square bore carb to fit vans airbox. The carb is a lot longer than all other -4 carbs that I have seen, so a lot of upward crank on the airbox neck will obviously be in order. I am wondering how other builders have solved this issue. Bump out the cowl??? I hope not...
Thanks in advance...Chris
