Carburetor to Engine Boots
Boots between the engine and the carburetors
should be inspected frequently for looseness or
damage that would allow air leakage. Air leaks
between the carburetor and the engine can result
in a lean fuel mixture.
Carburetor Application
The carburetors used on these models are
similar, but there may be differences between the
two or three carburetors used on different cylin-
ders of the same engine. Refer to Table 1 for
original application.
