Air filter housing screws

Post by j4weeson »

Any man, woman or beast know the torque settings for the 8 mounting screws that hold the air filter housing onto the carbs? checked the manual and it just says do not over tighten or it will strip the carbs :thumbdown:

thanks

Tight enough and with some threadlock on em as you don't want them going in the carb!

Yeh don't screw them up. :lol: I mean don't f..ck you carbs. I wouldn't go by torque setting as the screws will have most likely stretched a bit over the years and torque settings don't account for this unless you use a torque wrench that can account for it. Just do them by feel and as said a little threadlock. :thumbup:
