Hey I've been trying for 3 days too put the carb back on the bike everything from twisting to pushing putting a little wad 40 on the seal and still wont go any tricks guys? I was thinking my hammer with a piece of wood but wanted to check with u guys first.

 

Ummm...is the clamp loosened?
And yes, a lubricant can make for easier work.

 

the clamp does not loosen it suposed to push right into the intake .

 

the rubber boot fits on the intake manifold and the carb pushes into it … no clamps … a little lube can help it go together

 

that's what I figured I just cant get to push in though and I dont know why.

 

is the carb hitting something … stopping it from going together

 

no it goes on prob about 16th in but cant get it go go ahh the way

 

can you provide a photo of the intake and trying to install the carb?

 

later on this week I can 2hen I get back to the bike

 

wish I was more help … I can't think of what might be keeping the carb from installing … I've done this on my Road King and Sportster several times and they just push together … even with a new rubber sleeve … I'll have to look mine over tomorrw and see if I can find something
