"Timing" is everything - lol

So, the heat and humidity today could not be worse in a steam sauna, but there I am in the garage, airbox off, familiarizing myself with things, spraying carb cleaner and checking the carbs and boots for leaks. None to report happily.

It takes me FOREVER in that sweatbox to get the darn airbox hoses connected properly, get it all buttoned back up and finally come inside just now for a cool beverage to rehydrate.

What is waiting at my front door? Why the packages the mailman delivered containing my iridium plugs and the Emgo carb balancer. So guess what I'll be doing tomorrow? lol

Like I said.....timing is everything.

Somedays the bear gets you.

Yup you should have posted this before you started!!!LOL Air box hose is real easy to get in. Wrap a string around the groove in the rubber airbox hose and lube it a little and pull it thru the airbox holes works slick.. for next time lol!!

One trick I found out to maker it easier when installing the airbox, I use large cable ties to secure the tubes instead of the metal clamps. I gave up trying to get them back on. PITA

Great idea! Mine were a little mangled, and not all the way on. I used a Snap-On radiator hose pick. Worked great also.
