Hello All,

I tried to install the NCY 30mm CVK carburetor but it looks like it does not fit as the rear bottom left of the carb is hitting the frame/engine mount. It looks like I need about 1/2 of clearance and i should be good to go. I bought the NCY aluminum intake manifold

shop.theruckshop.com/NCY-Aluminum-Intake-Manifold-GY6-FREE-SHIPPING-1300-1004.htm

I was wondering if the Teflon Coated SHORT Intake Manifold (GY6) ; 30mm from NCY is any shorter?

Would that give me additional clearance?

shop.theruckshop.com/Teflon-Coated-SHORT-Intake-Manifold-GY6-30mm-FREE-SHIPPING-1300-1070.htm

I contacted the shop and they told I need to turn the carb around and face it forward. I will try that but in the mean time I figure I would ask you guys as well as I would like to keep it looking stock.

thanky you - Luigi

Not sure how tall is your carb, with that short intake manifold you might have troubles with the carb bowl hitting the engine case, or not fitting at all. With the new carb I installed, an intake manifold with a lower angle wouldn't fit, it fit just right with the aluminum intake manifold it came with.

I think the height is the same, i think the only difference is the length of it...

My 32mm is tight but it fits . I used a 30mm intake it was just like the stock but with no rubber and of course the port is 30mm . I used a shorter piece of radiator hose , because the rubber connector was too long. I cut the radiator hose a little shorter and it fit. It is still tight but it fits .

Thanks for the advice and help. I need it. I got most of the motor apart. I do not think I will have to take the engine out so that is good. Here are some pics of the carb issue and some others of the rest of the work. The new intake I bought should be at least 1/2 inch shorter. Hopefully that does it for me. Also when I put everything back together will i need a intake manifold gasket or can I use some rtv gray stuff? I am thinking the gasket might be restrictive.

I think you mean the bottom RIGHT .... when facing toward the front. Correct?

GEH has the solution.

The rubber connector that comes with the intake has iunternal groves that keep the carb and the intake manifold about 1/2" apart. you COULD shave off the rubber groves ... but ...

easier to go to O'Reilly's with your carb in hand and select a car radiator hose the right diameter. Take it home and cut an inch or more off. Use that instead of the stock rubber connector. problem solved.

Another nice thing about the radiator hose , you can cut it in a way that it angles the carb down a little , if the cross bar is in the way of the carb inlet. I had to slightly do that also. You can cut a 2 inch or so piece of hose , attach it to the manifold , then cut the hose so the carb slides straight in and even with the engine. This way the filter can attach to the carb under the crossbar.
