It's quite fidely getting the two ends into the carb. Prepare for some swearing.

as most foccers know i have removed and refitted my carbs several times over the last year or more  :rolleyes ....i have never removed the cables on their own always removing when carbs are off the bike.....its a fiddle then. i`ll be surprised if you are able to remove them with carbs in place ..........hope you can prove me wrong  :)

Also it'll be easier if you can get a mate to help, preferably someone with small fingers.

I put my carbs back on today and it was pretty easy with someone holding the butterflies open.
