replacing the top of air cleaner cover on /6
Posted: Sat Oct 10, 09 12:54 pm
It's a PITA putting the top of the air cleaner cover on because when I lean over to fit it on, invariably I knock the little bolt (which swivels!) over on the carburettor wire (it's a Ball & Ball Carb)--see the pics. Today I used a cotton thread tied round the end of the bolt passed through the hole in the centre of the cover. I have tried using loctite on the wire and sliding the vertical bolt back over into position but it obviously wasn't centred in exactly the right place because I knocked it over again! I've tried steadying the bolt with a screwdriver poked through the cleaner cover hole but that takes a few attempts because the cleaner cover is so wide. I just wondered if anyone had any better way of doing this? Like a thin tube of something shoved over the bolt but still small enough to go through the cover hole and be pulled off afterwards?
