I know guys that use brake fluid instead of mercury just because of this potential problem. Bob Hawks ----- Original Message ----- From: Frank Casssese <nutrit-@juno.com> To: <Loopfram-@topica.com> Sent: Wednesday, September 11, 2002 9:58 PM Subject: Re: Carb Stix
The intakes are the "tubes" between the carb and the cylinder (the curved arm). There should be a 6mm screw on this "pipe. " Remove this screw and replace it with a 6mm adapter. Hook the hoses to each adapter. DON'T REV THE ENGINE OR MERCURY WILL GET SUCKED INTO YOUR CYLINDER. (ask me how I know this) Good Luck, Frank

Where are these screws? On the carbs? I am having a brain fart here on where the intake manifolds are. BTW, I have individual K&N's on the
carbs. I sort of remember taking out a screw somewhere on the carb,
inserting these adapter pipes, and sliding the hoses over them, just
can't recall where to insert these adapter tubes. Perhaps I need to
pull the sidecovers and take a look on the inside area of the carbs.
The area on the carb I was checking out before was right next to the
banjos, its a tube sticking out just like the fuel mixture tube - I guess it's universal for multiple applications and you just use one side for the mixture screw and plug the other. Can you please be specific where I should look for this screw? Is it near the mixture or idle speed screws? On the opposite side near the banjo?
Thanx!
