1996 wide glide carborator question
#11
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
thanks def lmn

That rubber seal can roll into the inside bore of the intake manifold and make it nearly impossible to push the carb in. Remove the seal and make sure it's not deformed or damaged. If it's OK, clean the rubber inside and out as well as the mating surface on the manifold. Reinstall the dry seal amd then spread a little motor oil on the inside lip. Then try again with a careful twisting motion. It should pop right in if nothing is wrong.

doesnt it go into place on outside it's a seal and on the inside where it meets the intake isn't their a slot for it to fit into on the intake hard to exsplane if u look at pic below it should make alot of sence what I'm saying. But I will have to pop it off and clean it like u said
