Yep. I had a problem when refitting carbs too. I was having trouble holding carbs in place while tightening up clamps. Id find that when i was tightening one side the other would start to slip back out. I was trying not too over tighten the clamps as i didnt want it to them to cut into the carb rubbers as there not cheep.
So i managed to hold the carbs in place with some cable ties and then tighten the clamps down slowly. Once i got everything in place , carbs into inlet rubbers, and air filter connected up i used some electrical spray to do the final tightening up. With the bike running and the odd squirt of spray you could hear when the clamp was tight and making a good seal without over tightening clamps.
