Fitment Of Carb On 2012 290

Hi,

I've just bought a 2012 290 and straight away found the Keihin carb was lopsided in the inlet rubber, I removed it to clean the carb and when I've come to reassemble I'm finding the carb impossible to get back in the mouth of the inlet rubber at anywhere near the right angle. The float bowl doesn't seem to have enough clearance with the top of the crankcase and I've even removed the exhaust to help line things up.

I'll probably buy a new rubber, but just wanted to know if this is normally as big a pain as this, surely cleaning the carb should be a straight forward job on a trials bike!

Cheers in advance.

Steve.

 Actually the Keihin is easier than the models with a Del Orto. It takes just the right twist of the inlet manifold. I spray the inlet with a good coat of lubricant first. Good luck. I certainly was not happy the first time either.
