Keihin Carb Problem

[90_warrior]

after waiting for a month and a half I finally got my carb but, to my surprise when I was installing it on my warrior the inlet tube from the stock air box won't fit over the carb. I called tech support and there solution is to stretch it over the carb! the tubs is about 1/4 of a inch smaller. has anyone else had this problem? or maybe away to get around it?

heat the boot up with a blow dryer and shove that mother in there and clamp it down. over time itll stretch over so you wont have to heat it to get it in

That^ or put it in boiling water to soften it up. Or just get a DRW intake tube.

All aftermarket carbs are a pain try putting the tube on the carb first then the airbox

I HEATED the air pipe with my heat gun and boiled it. even used a propene torch to apply heat. now I put a nick in the lip of the hose and now it spilt from the heat.

what is the DRW air box? am so pissed I feel like taking a hammer to it
