Hi Guys,

Not my first time rebuilding a carb, but it is the first time I could not get the carb back in the bike after a rebuild!

In fact, I am so frustrated that I took the airbox boot out of the air box and also removed the carb again. I still could not get the boot onto the carb with both out of the bike!

I have tried lubricant. The boot almost seems too small. The boot is not cracked or brittle. It is not terribly soft, but it is a bit pliable.

Thoughts?

Thanks All!
