Airbox help required

[reillypadraig]

I used washing up liquid, very small bit around the rubbers(it dries up after and forms good seal)
I found a second pair of hands good for this.
The back of the carbs next the airbox generally had to be lifted slightly to get the right angle and then I used a pry bar from before the crossmember on the frame to behind the airbox in the 2 grooves and pulled.
Brute force indeed.

I would generally not suggest Vaseline as it is more if a proper lubricant and you could have the airbox in and tightened up and let the pressure of the pry bar and airbox might just slide of the carbs

I sprayed with WD40. then just eased the air box rubbers on with a piece of wood from the back.  If one of rubbers gets trapped put a screwdriver down between carb and rubber and circle it as far as you can till it slips on.  Patience!!!

fit the carbs to the air box rubbers first then firmly waggle them till they go in the enginge rubbers  very very easy
dont use any lube as this makes them slip off too easy
just be firm and gentle
