i purchased the UPP boots like everyone told me to do. I bolted them onto the engine and when it came time to clamping them to the carb, as i tighten then, they push themselves off the carb. I push against it as hard as i can but the more i tighten them, the more they push away. I replaced the stock clamps with hose clamps and those didnt help at all. Can someone PLEEAASSSeEE telll me what is wrong??? thanks for help asap!

 

no help? cmon guys, i wanna go riding! help me out pleeasseeee

 

Are you sure your getting the carbs pushed in all the way? I hear you really need to use some forse to get the carbs all the way in.

 

o there more than in, but then once i start tightening them down, the carb push out. no matter how much force i put on them. Its reallly annoying!

 

does anyone know why this is happening. Should i use more narrow hose clamps? the hose clamps i have no are barely wider than the little area meant for them to go around.

 

i keep tryin to get them on but they wont stay
what the hel!!!

 

Try pushing the carbs into the UPP boots as far as you can and move the hose clamp as close to the body of the carb as possible. If the hose clamp is sliding toward the head as it tightens, it will push the carb out. You'll know the UPP boot is all the way when it touches the carb body. If your hose clamps are a little wider than the groove, make sure the extra is on the side of the carb.

 

Doesn't the UPP boots come with their own clamps? Use those or use the old clamps from your old boots.

 

yeah, ive tried it. so far, no luck but ill keep trying. i just got done doing a complete valve adjustment....last time i just checked em. To all that have never done it before, it is really pretty easy. and no, they come with slighly longer bolts, but no clamps for the carbs...alteast mine didnt. any other suggestions would be appreciated. thanks and have a good night.

 

I really had to force mine in there, but once they got to a certain point, they felt like they snapped in, and aren't goin anywhere now. By the way, make sure you use your stock clamps!!!! They work fine! Just really crank 'em down and take the spacer out. Good Luck
