RE: U-Can-Do 3d 46?
Hey Gary...... That's what I thought when I install the mount right side up, and was trying
to install the S 82 inverted on the top of the mount and could not figure out why the carb.
was hitting the inside of one of the mounting lugs, but also noticed that the carb. and the
firewall/tank outlet was a lot closer than I remembered on the 100... So I reinstalled the
mount inverted and taped the engine on then I marked the carb center on the firewall, I
also put the cowl on with the engine/F.W. at 5" and all fit great as it should.(man I did not
realize how much taller the S 100 was verses the S 82, which just fits complete in the
cowl with no problem.. Anyway I took all apart and reinstalled the mount upright in the
fuse using the mount's "tick" marks/F. W. marks and installed the 82 inverted on top of
the mount and checked my previous carb mark on the F.W. and it was about 1/2" higher,
so I figured the shalf/cowl would be off.. But when I slipped the cowl on it fit like a charm.
So I shaved the inner mounting lug about a 16th and the carb slips right in there now and
the cowl also?????.... Seem like something should be different??? But as I said it works...
I still may be missing something, But as I said I taped all on both ways and all matched up,
and I can't see how my marks lied to me:-)) But I do have senior moments, But thats the
way I'm going with it either way:-) I'm going to install everything pants included.. Just to
see how it acts :-) Here's some pics....
